[Ovmsdev] Urgent TLS root certificate issue (Let's Encrypt)

More info:
All my browsers already have a builtin ISRG X1 certificate signed by
ISRG only, that's the new version:
https://crt.sh/?id=9314791
My server still sends the ISRG X1 certificate cross signed / issued by
DST Root CA X3. That's the chain it got from Let's Encrypt (via certbot)
on the last renewal (last month!):
https://crt.sh/?id=3958242236
Without the DST root cert, WolfSSL then fails validating the DST signed
X1 root certificate (I assume):
https://www.wolfssl.com/docs/wolfssl-manual/ch7/
My servers will continue sending that chain including the outdated root
cert probably until the next renewal, so it's possible having added the
new X1 root certificate didn't solve the issue.
The browsers seem to know how to substitute the DST signed certificate
by the builtin self-signed (?). Is there a similar option in WolfSSL,
and do we need to enable that?
Steve, can you confirm this, do you know a solution?
Regards,
Michael
