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.
