That is definitely not the only reason.  The longer a certificate (or
actually, any 'secret key') is being used, the larger the probability
that it will be compromised, either by an opponent brute-forcing it, or
by good ole' human error.


The problem with this is, that often it seems to be usual to "renew"
certificates. I.e. CA gets cash, CA issues a new cert on EXACTLY THE
SAME KEY with just a different serial and validity...
