Ryan,

This seems reasonable when you are dealing with an online CA. When you are 
dealing with a root CA, it is currently reasonable to only bring it online once 
a year to update the CRL, as that is the required frequency.  For many offline 
CAs it is quite a production to use the HSM, so I think the maximum duration of 
delegated responder certificates signed by root CAs should be at least a year.

Thanks,
Peter
