Yes.

No idea.

I don't see a benefit in this. It's really only a matter of getting a
basic significant infrastructure bit in place, from my POV.

&gt;<i> Another possible complementary approach would be to look at the monkey

</I>
That's interesting stuff, but indeed; here we are looking to the issue
to have the SSL certificate be recognized by major vendors. At least
for the most public sites (www if needed, identity, bugzilla, ml,
wiki, etc.).
