Does the CRL processing:

1) handle the notAfter date properly?
2) throw an error when the imported CRL is evaluated after the notAfter date?
3) allow for an attempt to fix the problem *in the interface* (as
opposed to having to have the user know what's going on and thus how
to resolve it)?

I distrust manual import of CRLs because it's far, far too much like
importing individual end-entity certificates, with much more
wide-ranging consequences.
