I want to be clear here: I don't know that that part of the instructions
was meant to convey to affected Subscribers that 30 days would be an
acceptable timeline for revocation (though of course many certificates
didn't even get replaced that quickly...). It may be, for example, that the
software in question is limited such that it only offers "reissue with
immediate revocation" and "reissue with 30 day revocation". In that case,
the latter would be an appropriate choice even if the revocation was to
happen on a shorter timeline.

My concern is that *they chose to conceal *this part of the correspondence,
and I cannot come up with a good faith reason for doing so given the
information that is already public about the ECS system and how to reissue.
Obviously the term "30 day" is weird to see there, but if there was a good
reason for it (probably a better reason than the one I imagined above),
then they should have provided the reason rather than clumsily attempting
to conceal part of it. (And after Wayne had indicated both in mdsp and in
the incident itself that the contents were already known to some...)

Please do so! There have been a lot of comments with a lot of slightly
different contents and statements, and it's entirely possible that I
mis-referenced something, or made an outright error in my analysis.
