this is bad idea.
don't remove the file, truncate it (comment out, etc)

it is quite hard to recover the file otherwise as rpm won't even place 
you .rpmnew file if it hasn't changed in package!

also you wouldn't have even idea the there should be any file to start 
recovering it (even rpm -V shouldn't complain)
