I think we need a retention period longer than 1 year. Can we make it
apply without reference to current certificate lifetimes? What if the
requirement were something like:  "CA operators SHALL maintain links to
older versions of each CP and CPS for at least seven (7) years, regardless
of whether there is a sale, transfer, or acquisition of the CA." ?
