Guidelines for %config and %config(noreplace)

Are there any guidelines when to use %config and when %config
(noreplace)?
If you look at this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158568

Currently in FC-3 the ca-bundle.pem file is not %config at all. This is
obviously wrong because if sysadmin changes this file (and it's
legitimate to do so) he will lose his changes after openssl update.

However it's questionable if it should be %config(noreplace) because
then he will not get the changes (new CA certificates) on update.
