And the dream of every vendor, finally a working expiration date. And a

Just in case someone missed what I wanted to hint: That date problem has implications for devices with a RTC too. If they need too load a kernel and signed modules to enable the user to modify the date (of the RTC), setting a date outside the range specified in the certificate and rebooting will brick such devices.
