Hi GNOME distributors,

Fedora has documented at [1] a list of CA certificates removed by
Mozilla that are still required for glib-networking to be compatible
with many web sites. It's now safe to update your ca-certificates
package if you take care to restore these legacy certificates with their
original trust bits.

If you choose to update ca-certificates without ensuring that these
certificates remain installed with their original trust bits, we will
not handle TLS-related bug reports from your distro.
