let us think something like this: "when the CA only trusts for 3

I doubt that most users check the dates on SSL certificates, unless
they are familiar enough with TLS to understand that a shorter
validity period is better for security.
technically there is more: not the user needs to check the dates a SSL
certificate is valid;
just compare it with real life: which salesman would you trust more -
the one that gets a new car every few years,
which has the same advertisings on it and maybe has the same color, or
the other one that gets nearly every month
a new car, which looks totally different, other color and other
advertisings on it?
(and its not a car dealer)
the same its with SSL certificates; so you have to find the golden
middle way, as long as enough without loosing the security
and not too short to prevent not to get trust;
