 ## How To Use The Makefile
 
-NOTE: As of 12-20-2020 there is a new `make` target called `insecure`.
-If you see a problem with `git clone` failing during builds, run `make
-insecure` and this should fix it.  This is caused by some problem with
-how `openssl@1.1` finds its certs.
-
-This "fix" works by telling both `curl` and `git` to ignore
-certificate validation of https.  So ...  DON'T do this on a
-production environment.  It's really there for building inside containers
-to produce release tarballs.
-
 This `makefile` handles both the bootstrapping and then the full release of
 a custom linuxbrew based toolset, installed at any location you wish
 (so long as you have write permission there).
