Periodic Sync
-------------
The bundle is kept updated by periodic sync with the Mozilla's NSS root certificate store. The deprecated certs from the upstream bundle are added to deprecated list (for compatibility reasons) in ESP-IDF minor or patch release. If required, the deprecated certs can be added to the default bundle by enabling :ref:`CONFIG_MBEDTLS_CERTIFICATE_BUNDLE_DEPRECATED_LIST`. The deprecated certs shall be removed (reset) on the next major ESP-IDF release.
