After reading the instructions, I wonder: I noticed that there were some changes between 2.4 and 2.5 even, regarding the schemata; should they be upgraded, too? For example the description for deltaCRL had changed from DESC 'RFC2587: PKI user' to 'RFC4523: X.509 delta CRL' (and similar spelling fixes)
