That is a good idea. How about:


If you are unable to support a comprehensive reduction in issuance
lifetime, please explain the impact you see of Mozilla (and potentially
other browsers) removing trust from certificates of lifetime > 13 months
in the same sort of timeframe. This would mean browser-facing
certificates would need to have shorter lifetimes, but those
certificates not issued for trust by browsers could have longer lifetimes.

Presumably you mean independently apart from the fact that they happen
to share roots?
