"Your ATC comment seems to continue your theme that everyone should run a private PKI instead."

Not the OP you replied to, but I want to add some nuance: there's a vast solution space between using the WebPKI and rolling your own. The enterprise focused CAs have non-WebPKI CAs and CA-as-a-service offerings, both with way longer certificate lifetimes and way longer revocation periods.

If you don't need WebPKI-compatible certs (because you're not offering services to the general public) and your org cannot abide by the WebPKI rules requiring 24 hours max before revocation, you are doing something very wrong when you use the WebPKI.
