Hmmm, but maybe it is worth sharing with the peers if they could alert
about a device with a yet valid cert that way out of renewal policy.

That could be an extension saying "holder is expected to renew every
$fraction of (notAfter - notBefore)".

Not that RPs should log _every_ time they see a peer with a certificate
that's out of renewal policy, but that it could be useful to warn when
doing so doesn't risk filling logs with useless information.

In a hospital, for example, devices could have a warning light for when
they need maintenance or when their peers need maintenance.
