Call me a dirty rotten cynic but I just don't see this operational aspect of one or more running RPKI hierarchies as part of the IETF. Although you can prove me wrong, and I'll concede to an already enacted example where dates were set for some artifact. > > We want to encourage RPs to verify their ability to use the new Suite, but > we also realize that, during transition, there may be problems.

So perhaps suggest to the RP/Child CA that in the situation where a revocation is issued for Suite A, _if_ there are products with matching information for the Suite A revocation, a Suite C revocation should also be issued. > >> Twilight doesn't necessarily mean "dead wood is o.k".. since products MAY >> still be constructed. > > Not sure what you mean by the above sentence. I think the above clarifies my meaning. Cheers Terry
