Well, I was slooow on this, but here we go:
  http://codelabs.ru/patches/offlineimap/2015-Make-OS-default-CA-certificate-file-to-be-requested-expicitely.diff

You can request OS-default bundle via
{{{
sslcacertfile = OS-DEFAULT
}}}
distro maintainers can modify stock (example) offlineimap.conf
to read
{{{
sslcacertfile = OS-DEFAULT
}}}
from the beginning to allow new uses to use default bundle automatically,
but request will be explicit, so no false expectations will arise.
