Thanks Trevor.

Ok so if we set the Max Age to 1 day or 10 days or 30 or 90 so what are the 
realistic impacts? Increased Infrastructure how much?  I have not seen the 
tradeoffs cost(risks or added infrastructure) vs. benefits. I have been reading 
the argument pro's and con's and the issue does not seem to be an engineering 
one it is a business/risk management issue.  Upset customers, security, 
operations costs etc..  Not knowing the business cases and true costs I would 
go with 28 days if a hard limit must be set.  That seems long to me yet within 
most business systems reporting cycles etc..

Just my thoughts
Chuck

Why can't the Max-Max-AGE  equal a formula  Max age=  (average usage)*2+1day

Hi Charles,

In the case of frequently visited sites, that would shrink pin lifetimes to the 
point that even a brief interruption of browsing habits (vacation, etc.) would 
deactivate the pins.

Also, that wouldn't guarantee an upper-bound on pin lifetimes.  While opinions 
differ on this, I think a guaranteed upper-bound is desirable, to provide sites 
clarity on how long ill-effects from pinning might last.
