I've noticed that these certificate files are not used anymore with
the spice-guest-tools-0.100. So, is there any reason for keeping those
files here?

Also, spice-space.org provides a direct link for the latest driver[0],
what makes the maintainability easier. Why not start using that for
the spice-guest-tools?

Another question that comes to my mind is why don't we generate/keep
the .cmd file inside libosinfo as we do for the installation scripts?
I don't see a good point on asking the drivers provider to provide us
something like that, neither a good reason to avoid the official's
drivers provider and use a personal webpage just because of the .cmd
file.
