glep-0063: Update and unify expiration term |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Replace the disjoint 'minimum' and 'recommendation' for expiration with |
| 11 |
a single requirement. Make it 2.5 years with recommended annual renewal |
| 12 |
to a fixed day of the year (2 years + some grace time for renewal). |
| 13 |
Also, remove disjoint expiration recommendation for the primary key |
| 14 |
and subkeys since many developers fail at implementing that anyway. |
