Such certificates are also easy to obtain without much more identity verification than CAcert performs - when I signed up for such a certificate, I needed to prove I could receive email for my domain (as CAcert does) and prove that I had a valid phone number. These certificates are trusted by Mozilla (and other browsers).
I think more consistency is needed: personally I trust CAcert about as much as FreeSSL/RapidSSL, as the assurance / identity verification that they provide is similar, but Mozilla differentiates them.
