Ah, that's a good point!

In Let's Encrypt's particular case, we guarantee that all of our CRL shards
in a given "generation" share the same CRL Number, so detecting one shard
substituted from a previous generation would be very easy. But I recognize
that doing so is not required and could not be relied upon in the general
case.
