Since the servers of the wiki aren't under the control of the foundation 
and CA certificates acceptance are usually implemented on a server-wide 
basis, don't be surprised that the above won't be necessarily true. The 
choice of the service provider might prevent exactly that.  Additionally 
it most likely would have implications to all their customers.

Neither should you imply that by the mere fact that the foundation used 
an operating system with a questionable policy in relation to CA 
certificates it ships, implies that this was a conscious decision made 
by the foundation. Changing the operating system and/or hosting provider 
could change that immediately.
