existing bug in 4.9.10 and set an reasonable effective date for CAs
to update their validity period configurations for CRLs and OCSP

requirements than the existing Root program requirements (would that
be a first???) but this doesn't necessarily mean it is problematic.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure I understand this point. I just tried to explain why it'd be problematic, which is something we discussed quite a bit several years ago, with feedback from WebTrust in particular on this point about the misalignment between days and calendrical events. Root programs took that feedback into consideration, and that's why the approach I mentioned specifically exists to reduce the risk of compliance issues. It's unclear if you believe those concerns to be unfounded or unnecessary, or if I just didn't communicate this well.</div><div> </div></div></div>
