This issue is highlighting a few things for me:
* It's absurd that Python, Go, or Node need their own certificate stores that need separate updates. (Probably OK for browsers because they seem very on top of updating them without user intervention.)
* This issue is especially bad when you consider deployment through containers, docker, etc. More parallel copies of vulnerable certificate stores. With docker volumes you could mount the host's certificates into the containers and get "update once" behavior but I doubt people are doing this.
* It wouldn't be too hard to implement CRLs against the OpenSSL certs as a script that runs from cron. I might end up doing this.
