My opinion (still) is that it isn't a bug, it's a feature. I want someday to
make keys that have short-lived self-signatures on them that are regularly
renewed, and don't want to require the entire PKI to regenerate itself every
week, or day, or month. I think it's horribly limiting to require all the
dates to match up, and ruins a lot of interesting possibilities.
