Originally, this sentence was placed in RFC 2459 to ensure that simple 
clients are able to get the best possible revocation information.  We did 
not want to require CAs or clients to support delta-CRLs, but if a CA chose 
to support delta-CRLs, we did not want to penalize clients.

I do not see that either of these desires has changed.
