/config/ssl/ssl.crt/f5-ca-bundle.crt obsolete certificate

I noticed that the f5-ca-bundle.crt file contains an obsolete (root) certificate. At least up to (and including) TMOS 17.5.1.

This causes a failure when trying to update the ca-bundle.crt file using the Configuration Utility (System  ››  Certificate Management : Traffic Certificate Management : Bundle Manager List) in /var/log/ltm:

notice keymgmtd[8795]: 01a40000:5: BundleMgr /Common/ca-bundle importing from all sources.
notice keymgmtd[8795]: 01a40000:5: Download failed: https://cdn.f5.com/product/ca-bundle/blended-bundle.crt - Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates
notice keymgmtd[8795]: 01a40000:5: BundleMgr /Common/ca-bundle import aborted. No change to ca-bundle /Common/ca-bundle.crt

The server certificate of cdn.f5.com requires a new root CA in f5-ca-bundle.crt (noticeably: "Subject: C=GB, O=Sectigo Limited, CN=Sectigo Public Server Authentication Root R46").

This was reported to F5 TAC, and will be fixed in a future release (as promised), but F5 TAC is unable to share a BugID with me.

Work around is to add (or replace?) the new certificate to f5-ca-bundle.crt, touch /service/mcpd/forceload, and reboot the appliance). This needs to be repeated after each upgrade as well, until F5 has fixed this issue.

# cp -ip /config/ssl/ssl.crt/f5-ca-bundle.crt /config/ssl/ssl.crt/f5-ca-bundle.crt.ORIG

# cat << EOF >> /config/ssl/ssl.crt/f5-ca-bundle.crt
