Unless someone has a means of managing frequent updates of the root
infrastructure (and there isn't one, or at least none that work), this will
never fly.  There's a reason why roots have 20-40 year lifetimes and why they
get on-sold endlessly across different owners rather than simply being
replaced when required.
