It's kind of in line with their plan to get rid of OCSP: short certificate lifetimes keep CRLs short, so I get where they're coming from (I think).

90 days of validity, which was once a short lifetime. Currently, Google is planning to enforce this as the maximum validity duration in their browser, and I'm sure Mozilla will follow, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't because no provider can afford to not support chromium based browsers.

I was expecting that they reduce the maximum situation to e.g. 30 days, but I guess they want to make the stricter rules optional first to make sure there are no issues.
