I've seen many corporate failures to ensure fthe availability of unexpired
certificates.  I's a big problem.  Without an online certification
protocol, it is organizationally difficult to keep certificates valid!

DANE, of course, doesn't have validity periods, just TTLs, so it shouldn't
suffer from this.  But DANE with pinning still would.  And rebuilding a
host without preserving its private keys would still cause failures.  But
at least organizationally, DANE is much, much easier to handle than PKIX.

(Kerberos has validity periods, but does much better because it has online
infrastructure, at the increased risk of downtime if that infrastructure
becomes unavailable.)
