What influence does the import of a root certificate into the "Untrusted Certificates" store have on the certification authority?

The following describes the effects on certification authority operation when a root certificate that issued one of the certification authority certificates of a certification authority is imported into the Untrusted Certificates store on the certification authority.

This case may occur as planned, for example, when a previous certification authority hierarchy is to be decommissioned.

If the root certificate is imported into the Untrusted Certificates store, it itself and all subordinate certificates issued by it are treated as if it had been revoked.

The effect of revoking the certification authority certificate are described in the article "What impact does the revocation of a certification authority certificate have on the certification authority?" described.
