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.
