As I said in my presentation, you can find CACert's inclusion status at

http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/InclusionStatus

If you're interested specifically in it's status of being including in
Firefox, you
can see the mozilla bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215243

I'll also take a quick moment to mention my presentation link:

http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/presentations/cacert-presentation.pdf

And suggest people go buy the current issue (Sept, I believe) of
Linux Magazine which has an article about CACert. :-)

Cheers,
Tanner
