The effect of that is rather unpredictable - when doing the "sslcert"
status, I didn't think that you would have one line in hosts.cfg with
multiple (different) SSL certificates. So which of the 7 certificates
will show up in the "sslcert" status is unpredictable.
I have hosts running both httpd ssl and imaps services, with separate
certs, and it reports both certs correctly.  I don't know if it will
handle status correctly, though.  The imaps certs are self-generated with
expirations years out.  IIRC, it has gone yellow on the httpd certs at the
correct time.  The https test precedes the imaps test on the hosts line,
and the certs are stacked in that order on the sslcert page.
I stand corrected, then - apparently I did foresee that possibility :-)

It's perfectly reasonable -- you'll run into that with any webserver
providing https that also provides imap-s, which is not that outlandish.

I understand:  I often turn out to have been smarter than I realized at
the time (when I'm stupid it's usually readily apparent).

I noticed overnight on a personal server that even if the httpd and imaps
certs are the same one, it's reported once per service.  I like that.
