Thanks. I didn't check to see if a new certificate had been issued. I
have published a CRL at http://ca.mit.edu/mitca.crl (I believe it can
be references via https as well, but it is a signed object so this
isn't necessary).

Of course if people don't import this CRL into their browser, it
doesn't do much good (though once imported into Firefox, it will be
automatically updated if the user sets it that way).

Unfortunately, ca-certificates-java apparently throws "some absurd error" if you include a CRL in the pack of certificates, and it's not really clear if including a CRL via update-ca-certificates is even meaningful.

We should find out if it is meaningful, and if it is, file a bug about ca-certificates-java.

Apparently mitcert-issued certs now include a CRL in them, which means that this will be a completely moot point in one year, if it's not already.

Does the CRL Distribution Points URL actually get used by anything?
