8 Still NACK. If expiration is exactly 2 years and renewal must happen
9 2 weeks before the expiry date, then it is not possible to keep the
10 same date.
11
12 Example: The key will expire at 2018-12-31, so it must be renewed at
13 2018-12-17 or earlier. This will make it impossible to keep the same
14 month and day (unless one would reset it to 2019-12-31, which is only
15 one year though).
16
17 So please, make it something like 2 years + 3 months.
