Weekends are a regular disruption to business hours, but they aren't the
only such disruption during the course of a year.
Consider a certificate issued to a US subscriber that expires on
Thursday November 23rd 2017. Normal business hours won't resume until 4
days later.

Ditto for a certificate issued to a UK subscriber that expires on Friday
14th April 2017.

Would that justify an additional 2 extra days?
