Er, duh, I got this description goofed up.

This patch is related to certificate renewal/issuing a new certificate 
for a service that already has one. We used to reject inserting a new 
certificate altogether. This patch adds a new flag, --renew, that lets 
you replace a certificate. The existing certificate is revoked.
