There are a lot of ACME implementations and deployments and it will take
a long time for them to all support ARI.  If monitoring programs could
alert operators that they need to urgently trigger a renewal, it would
help reduce the impact of mass revocation events, which was a major
motivation for ARI.

Consumption by monitoring programs was the reason for constructing the
ARI URL from the issuer and serial number.  However, ARI is not
useful for monitoring programs without an indication of whether the
renewal window is due to revocation.
