Bad certificate example in 3.2 release notes



Hi,

Maybe this has already been noticed, but while reading the release notes on 3.2 I stumbled across a picture of an example certificate. The certificate reads 'DigiNotar'. Now this certificate company has had bad publicity concerning certificates having been cracked by 'a less reputable' government. The company was subsequently dumped by th Dutch government who used the DigiNotar certificates. The company is now bankrupt. Maybe it would be wise not to use this certificate as an example concerning security matters in Linux and Gnome.

Kind regards,

Marten Kramer
