Well, both to be honest. I have signed up and recognise at least one
name of the Irish Assurers list.

I was more referring to people's opinion's on the model/trustworthiness
of CACert. It's a nice idea, but I have seen people having reservations
towards their inclusion (KDE for one). I suppose the question in the end
of the day is "Is it trustworthy and will it work?"

Cian
