It's not really so simple, you also need the mechanism to update the CRLs
and you have to follow general updates to the CA rpms. Also if we ever get
round to having authorisation you will need VOMS clients or similar, and
whatever setup they need, and once SEs become SRMs you will need clients
which can drive them. I'm not convinced that it could be much easier than
taking the standard UI installation.
