I am wondering whether this is a real fix as it only postpones the
issue, and sending 50 KB of trusted CA list to any connecting client
is probably excessive as well.

Is this really really necessary or wouldn't it be better to be able to
configure a list of ca-certificates sent in this situation?

Greetings
Marc
