Could be a problem to assume this, as self-signed certificates does not
require a CA - that'll pick some bucks from you to sign your
certificates - and it's sure self-signed certificates will be hanging
around for a while, because they're cheaper than CA signed ones.

Even in web servers self-signed certificates are being deployed, despite
the browser certificate error dialogs that are show when you visit those
web sites.
