   I think there's 2 issues at play here:   
   - the specific case of that Sectigo root, which as you said was resolved   
   - what to do about new CA certificates in stable more generally.   
   Historically root CAs were around for decades, so updating the trust   
   store once every couple of years was more than sufficient. In recent   
   years CA lifetimes have reduced significantly, so this has become an   
   issue.  I would like to start updating the package more regularly, but   
   have been struggling to find the spare time to even keep up in unstable   
   so far...   
      
   Cheers,   
   Julien
