    maintained on disk in the structure of symbolic links, and is not

    current (or other) version by accessing data on disk, but does not
    inherently know any of this information except by examining the
    symbolic links as needed. The instance variables mentioned below
    point to symlinks that reflect the notion of "current version" of
    each managed object, and it is these paths that should be used when
    configuring servers to use the certificate managed in a lineage.
