OK, I think I understand. So that would (very likely) be a legitimate
change, i.e. CA changes notbefore/notafter but re-issues cert in same
way. With AKID the same, the end-host cert would not need to be
re-issued, but you still want the proof of exactly that one
certification with that one intermediate cert.
