More forget than fire.

The longer certificates were valid the more often we'd have breakage due to admins forgetting renewal, or how do install the new certificates. It was a daily occurrence, often with hours or days of downtime.

Today, it's so rare I don't even remember when I last encountered an expired certificate. And I'm pretty sure it's not because of better observability...
