When file based publishing is enabled (as it is in IPA), the publisher will merrily continue to generate time stamped CRL files on a regular basis within a directory without worrying about old CRLs.
As this happens every 4 hours by default - and I believe that we create these even if no changes have occurred - this can eventually fill the disk.
It makes sense to have a purging policy. So, after publishing a new CRL, the publisher will remove any CRL files older than X hours/seconds/days, where X is configurable.
