Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 Thanks for bumping this to 5.6 and committing to 5.5 too, albeit it being
 RC2.

 May I suggest that we remove these certificates from our store? They were
 removed from Mozilla/curl store a while ago, and are 2048 bits.

  - America Online Root Certification Authority 1
  - America Online Root Certification Authority 2

 These two roots were requested to be removed
 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083294) over 6 years ago,
 which is over the CA/B baseline requirements of maximum three year length.
 All certificates signed by this root must be technically expired by now.
