Three months may be the new normal. That is all that LetsEncrypt is doing.

Hi Folks,

      As someone who is currently dealing with this - replacing unexpired 
certificates (to the Digicert Intermediate/CA from the Symantec CA) for our F5s 
and back-end servers, I can tell you that this is a pain in my butt.   Can't 
renew while replacing unless within 90 days of expiration, so you have to 
replace and then renew in some cases.  Not too bad for internal stuff, but not 
fun for external parters due to the coordination involved.

      Near as I can tell from the information I getting (from Symantec and 
others), it's not going to get better anytime soon.  From what I've heard, some 
folks are advocating a 90-day certificate renewal.  While I don't have an issue 
with that, it may make automation more important for larger enterprises.
