I explained that, but that mail seems to have been lost - it's because
the assumption of the security folks (outside OpenVPN control) is that
*if* you have a CRL, you want that CRL to be up-to-date at all times.

The assumption is "if something in the CRL producing process fails, and
no new CRL can be generated, better assume that everything should be
disallowed than let someone unauthorized in".
