X-post: AI Guidelines for WordPress

X-comment from +make.wordpress.org/ai: Comment on AI Guidelines for WordPress

Should 1024-bit certificates be removed from the root certificate bundle?

The root security certificate bundle in WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Team builds WordPress. still includes some 1024-bit certificates to provide support for what appears to be a narrow range of buggy OpenSSL versions that have been unsupported since 2016. In https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64063 there is a proposal to remove them from the bundle.

Does anyone know of a reason these certificates should be retained? As far as I understand this really only affects CentOS 7 which is EOL since 2024.

If there’s no objection then I’ll remove them next week (ready for WordPress 7.0 in April).
