I see that there is a timeline for progressive shortening, so if anyone has any "inside baseball" on this, I'm very curious to know:
Given that the overarching rationale here is security, what made them stop at 47 days? If the concern is _actually_ security, allowing a compromised cert to exist for a month and a half is I guess better than 398 days, but why is 47 days "enough"?
When will we see proposals for max cert lifetimes of 1 week? Or 1 day? Or 1 hour? What is the lower limit of the actual lifespan of a cert and why aren't we at that already? What will it take to get there?
Why are we investing time and money in hatching schemes to continually ratchet the lifespan of certs back one more step instead of addressing the root problems, whatever those are?
The root problem is certificate lifetimes are too long relative to the speed at which domains change, and the speed at which the PKI needs to change.
