I suspect it wasn't reported earlier because a) few people use client
certs, b) the introduction of ssl-client-cert-file-prompt (issue 2410)
means that users must edit their config to be able to use a client cert
at all -- and when they do that they can simply set ssl-client-cert-file
and ssl-client-cert-file-password in the servers file and bypass the
storage problem. The user could still complain about storing the
password in the servers file, rather than the password stores, but users
may not recognise that as an issue.
