This was a violation of a "SHOULD NOT" (not a "MUST NOT") issue SHA-1
certificates that expire after 2016.  Since issuing SHA-1 certificates
was not forbidden in 2015 and the notAfter date is immaterial to the
risk of SHA-1 collisions[1], it would be unfair and counterproductive
to hold this against WoSign.

[1] In fact, stockpiling long-lived SHA-1 certs in 2015 would have been
vastly better for the ecosystem than using "legacy" roots or
requesting an exception in 2016.
