Replace the disjoint 'minimum' and 'recommendation' for expiration with |
| 2 |
a single requirement. Make it 2.5 years with recommended annual renewal |
| 3 |
to a fixed day of the year (2 years + some grace time for renewal). |
| 4 |
Also, remove disjoint expiration recommendation for the primary key |
| 5 |
and subkeys since many developers fail at implementing that anyway. |
