I like this proposal, and I want to digest it more fully later, but
it also seems like this complicates what's already the most complicated
part of Gemini. Is this an optional special idea, like notaries, or are
you hoping this gets more widespread use?

Personally, I like the simpler ideas that have been used so far, combined
with something like 5 year certs.

P.S. Can anyone explain or give me a link on TLS key rotation? How is it
different from changing certs?
