--- Comment #4 from Jan Beich <jbeich@vfemail.net> ---
>+This enables SSL Certificate Verification by client software without manual
>+intervention.
>+
>+If you prefer to do this manually, remove the following symlinks:
>+
>+  * /etc/ssl/cert.pem
>+  * /usr/local/openssl/cert.pem

This is unreliable:
- the symlinks would be restored upon next update
- pkg-check and pkg-delete would compalin about missing file
- ignores user-maintained certificates (e.g. CA-less config)

@sample keyword can fix them (see bug 196432) with the advice modified to:

  If you prefer to do this manually, replace the following symlinks with
  either an empty file or your site-local certificate bundle:

  /etc/ssl/cert.pem
  /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem
  /usr/local/openssl/cert.pem
