Hi Fraser,
Regarding CRL, I found the following:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.security.policy/ilOoDiCU4JM
So I think we can just forget it then, unless you want to install old FF 
to try.
You have an ACK on this patch now.

About upgrade,  I can see that you are on the right path there with the 
upgrade script, and it looks to do the thing, but since I don't have 
much experience with Python, could you please ask Endi to take a closer 
look?

thanks!
Christina
