I would also add that documentation will also be in that way:
UPGRADING will inform existing users to move to CERTPATH, and user
documentation will note CERTFILE as deprecated in favor of CERTPATH.

that being said, I'll have to look at the docs and conf sample to see if
having conditioned content is worth or not (ie confusing and overloading or
not)

cheers,
