Sure.

I'm afraid I don't understand. If an admin replaces the default
snakeoil cert with a real one which he got signed by a CA, then of
course he would replace the standard system SSL cert (which all the
servers default to, and which is initially the snakeoil one) with the
"good" certificate. I don't see a reason why an admin would replace a
self-signed cert with another self-signed cert?

Thanks,
