2) If I can do the verification above, as I suppose, Why need I issue
CRLs using the old key (associated with CA2)?


The only reason you need to issue CRL usign the old key is if you consider the "feature" implemented by MS, as has been described MS CAPI will not accept to match by name and not key if an IDP is not present.

But this kind of restriction was also implemented I think by many other implementers who were with reason wary of matching only by name because, without using the algorithm proposed by Santosh, it is dangerous.
