That's not too long, I think having it as part of the book sounds like
a good thing.

From your description I get the idea that these scripts are meant as a
one-shot setup of the certificates after calling a wget for the
certdata.txt.  If I haven't misinterpreted then there really isn't a
better spot for these and /root is probably a good place to stash them
for the time being.

If these scripts were capable of updating the certificates then maybe
/usr/sbin would be a sane location.
