Agreed.

I have some stats I've been looking at from Google's web crawls about
HSTS headers. Out of 12853 hosts I observed setting HSTS, 53% set of a
max-age of 1 year. After that it's 15% 30 days, 12% 180 days, 10% 1
day, and a smattering of other choices (with a few large hosts like
Twitter setting very long-lived max-age).

These are only a rough upper bound on the max-age values that would be
set for pins, but it seems a substantial number of hosts would request
longer than 30 days, while 1 year will support most likely use cases,
so we should probably land somewhere between those two points.

The follow-on question is, if UAs allow max-age of 1 year, will there
need to be a revocation method to deal with some of the cases that
Trevor highlighted?
