Hello,

Version 1.0 of the Baseline Requirements stated that:

"Certificates issued after the Effective Date MUST have a Validity Period no 
greater than 60 months".

The effective date for this version was 2012-07-01 
(https://cabforum.org/wp-content/uploads/Baseline_Requirements_V1.pdf).

I noticed that cablint has a warning stating: "W: Pre-BR certificates should 
not be more than 120 months in validity" 
(https://github.com/awslabs/certlint/blob/68a2c46f5146025910a0e17f2f34351e3b4b8802/lib/certlint/cablint.rb#L328).

Was this a technical limitation or a policy of some kind? I can't find any 
reference for it.

Any insight the guidelines, rules, or common practices relating to maximum 
certificate lifetime prior to the Baseline Requirements would be appreciated.

Thank you.
