Comment:

 > An error occurred while updating Twenty Eleven: Download failed. SSL:
 certificate subject name '*.wordpress.org' does not match target host name
 'wordpress.org

 All downloads are now served from downloads.wordpress.org, so even clients
 who don't support subjectAltName should be able to retrieve packages over
 SSL now (since it'll match *.wordpress.org)

 As it's such a old version of cURL/OpenSSL that doesn't support this, and
 the only real option would've been blacklisting old curl, I'm wontfixing
 this for now, although the problem originally is "fixed"/avoided.
