I was hoping people with expertise on this issue could chime in about
the implications of running with this patch on FreeBSD 11 which I know
is now out of support.

This patch is inspired from

https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/6.8/common/032_cert.patch.sig
with caveats from
https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/13/LetsEncryptRootCertExpire/

Am I opening myself up to more issues by doing this ? This is however the default on RELENG_12 and above.
