And are you sure it is the "right logic" replacing the previous manifest 
content.

In real life it could happen that some org requests some amount of 
subscriptions; then consumes it fully and requests the second portion.

So I'm really not sure that we should remove (or replace) the old 
subscriptions (as client already paid for it) but rather to add them 
into existing ones.

Or maybe I'm missing the point?
