Honestly, it doesn't matter.  The only A-R headers you can trust are
the ones that your own system added, and the point of that text is
that you should delete ones that look like yours but that you didn't
add.

We leave other people's A-R headers in case they might be useful to
do forensics, and we have a slightly different version of them in
ARC chains which again are only trustworthy if you know who added
the ARC seals.

R's,
