If you got the latest SNAP this is somehow handled at the CA side: this is
because the
users usually don't even know what a certificate is so asking them the less
possible
is usually a good policy. Anyway I think it is a good point. Extensions are to
be
handled onto the CA when issuing a certificate anyway we could add some kind of
"Certificate Type" to be handled so that the user (or the RA Operator) could
state the usage the certificate has been requested for.

We'll add it for the 0.9 version I guess.
