The response I got to this issue hinted that it was a lame issue I filed. I haven't had time/focus to investigate further and give constructive feedback.
I think it is kind of OK to require explicit specification of the ca_certs as long as it is made clear in all the relevant places that it _has_ to be done. I think it would be a good idea to deprecate the default value for ca_certs and issue a warning if ca_certs hasn't been specified (as None or a path).
I have heard that some Python variants come with the system ca_certs built in and hard-coded somehow. That is in a way very nice and convenient and a good solution (as long the user wants to use the same ca_certs for all purposes), but it would have to be available and reliable on all platforms to be really useful.
