If you want to use several CAs you should completely isolate them from
eachother. We can try to automate the exchange between PKIs in a
hierarchy but we should never share any software between different PKIs.
(e.g. perhaps you need different versions for different CAs in the 
future because of different features)

We don't make plans actually about thinks like Baltimore's (TM)
policy-roll-over or policyeditor.

We try actually to define a good structure for the basic installation of
a single PKI to come closer to a version 1.0. The version 0.9 should
define the final structure of the 1.0.
