[SOLVED] shadow pacnew files: what to do with them?

Hi all,

I have a few pacnew files in my system. With 'yaourt -C' :

1 06/11/2014 07:12:03 PM  /etc/shadow.pacnew
2 07/04/2014 08:44:42 AM  /etc/group.pacnew
3 07/04/2014 08:44:42 AM  /etc/gshadow.pacnew
4 07/12/2014 03:41:05 AM  /etc/passwd.pacnew

Now, following this conversation I understand that I can ignore the group and passswd pacnew files.
But what about the shadow ones? For instance, this is my shadow pacnew file in vimdiff:

Hope this is not a duplicate, but I'd rather not improvise changing those files.

You can just delete them.
