Reducing it to one year made sense, one year down to 10 days is actually a fucking massive difference. Practically speaking, it’s a far, far bigger change than 8 years down to 1.

This isn’t just an “ongoing trend” at this point, it would be a fundamental change to the way that certificates are managed i.e. making it impossible to handle renewals manually for any decently sized business.

They never said the ongoing trend wasn't logarithmic. By 2030 you'll be updating certs 6-8 times a day! Please drink verification can.
