Don't you think that fifty years is enough time to upgrade all certificate

It makes sense to coordinate with PKIX, but why does PKIX say 2050?
2090 would make a lot more sense, as no certificates existed before
1990.  Or, perhaps the Year2000 WG will choose a common number for
all Internet protocols.  In that case, something like 2060 might
make sense.
