I have a best practices question on CA management for signing.

I have created CA signing cert and issue all other certs using this
CA to sign them. 

1) I noticed that many CA examples set a term of 3650 days, is this commmon
practice

2) If I decide to revoke the CA and create a new CA what is the practice for
all the certs
    on this CA do I revoke them and reissue new when needed.

3) Currenlty the public CRL is signed by the CA what do I do about this for
the new CA.

4) For OCSP how does this work out for the new CA, I think the OCSP can take
more than one CA
    to know about, but what abut the OCSP signing cert do I create a a new
one there with the
    new CA?

5) I have an SSL cert on the current CA do I create a new one with the new
CA and simply replace the
    the old one.
