@Dustin > My two-cents is to leave it a tuple (why not?). Because tuples are more used for struct-like data. Here we are returning an unknown number of homogenous objects, which generally calls for a list. @Christian > I'd rather return a list or tuple of X509 objects but #18369 won't be ready for 3.4. Ideas? Unless the feature is really important to have right now, I think it's ok to defer it until we have X509 objects.

Unless the feature is really important to have right now, I think it's ok to defer it until we have X509 objects.
