I think that OpenCA should be able to be managed from both the web
interface and the command line. There are people who manage a small PKI
that will do everything from the web interface, there are others that are
more comfortable on the command line (but may wish to check their
configuration etc via the web interface). I would like to see a command
line client as a stepping stone to a full OpenCA API, but would not like
to remove any functionality from the web interface.
