Hmm, I hoped that after FreeIPA 3.2
(https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2879), FreeIPA should before warn
removing the last DNS/CA from the realm. If may indeed be a bug.

The point is that it is hard to recover when there is no master with PKI
configured and backup to use as some information are only on the PKI masters,
like the CA private key or other subsystem cert private keys.

Sounds promising.

Yes, this is the procedure to follow for servers older than FreeIPA 4.1. Jan is
that correct? If yes, the page deserves a warning/update.
