Delete /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt suggested on front page

I am uncomfortable that the first thing on archlinux.org at present is a recommendation to delete /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
There is no suggestion to back it up or comment on the consequences.
I know users are expected to look after themselves and beware of consequences, but this seems rather undesirable.

It gets reinstalled when issuing the next command (pacman -Su).

This is mentioned in the first line of the news article.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Users are expected to read the entire news item, not randomly paste commands from parts of it.



Closing.
