Comment (by Kent Brockman):

 Absolutelly agree with @javorszky: people using shared hosting will be
 trapped in a cage because vast majority of hosting providers are not
 able/willing to upgrade their OS or templates due to just a few shared
 hosting customer complaints.

 A well implemented ca-bundle.crt file demonstrated to do the magic. The
 tricky part is... keeping that .crt file up to date, given the lots of
 updates that may arise. All in all, is a foolproof solution. I bet that
 monitoring changes in a couple of git ca bundles (like this one:
 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bagder/ca-
 bundle/e9175fec5d0c4d42de24ed6d84a06d504d5e5a09/ca-bundle.crt ) will be
 enough to keep up with it.
