The 'reasons for revocation' from the old policy are very close to the BR
language I proposed. The main difference in my proposal is the inclusion of
deadlines by which certificates must be revoked (same as in the BRs). While
the BR deadlines have sometimes been challenging, I do feel that we're
better off to have them as our standard and handle exceptions as incidents,
so my preference is to stick with my proposal.
