We've issued one month certs before. We would have used shorter certs if the
CAB Forum had relaxed the OCSP requirements.  Since these are supposed to be
extremely streamlined, one SCT would be great.

I'm to blame for that.

Certificates with a single SCT put a lower bound on how quickly we can
distrust a log (at least without special measures, such as shipping the
whole, public log hashes to all the clients, which is probably
impractical.) Since I'm not aware of any CAs issuing one month certs, and it
only saves ~100 bytes vs 2 SCTs, it seemed to be something that should be
dropped.
