The problem with Centrum is they don't have the political clout with
Sun to get their roots installed automatically in cacerts.

That is what you pay for really, possibly some sort of bribe. It is to
Verisign's advantage to keep that list as short as possible.

If you are interested in subverting them, have a look at
http://mindprod.com/projects/rootcertinstaller.html

With an easy tool to install a set of root certs from the smaller
companies, competition would heat up and prices would have to drop.

The problem then is finding a big name to back you so that big
companies could trust your program to install only genuine certs.

You might have to offer it as open source and even free.

Heck, you could even go into the cert business yourself.
