For 4.0, we will need to come up with manual procedure how to renew the
certificates *without* reinstalling the client or server.

I think the best way would be to prepare a simple script to renew
client/server, something like

/usr/share/ipa/ipa-renew-client-certificate
/usr/share/ipa/ipa-renew-server-certificate

and refer to it in the ipa-cacert-manage man page. People could then pretty
easily run those after a cert change, using whatever means their infrastructure
uses - puppet, ssh, ...
