I agree, so we err on the side of caution and plan for atleast 2 release 
cycles that way there should always be a working key in every release, 
but the old key carries through long enough if the release cycle time 
suddenly doubles.

I'd been thinking 5 years expiry so it's not really about prediction at 
all.  I'm more concerned about making it a part of the standard release 
cycle rather then letting it be forgotten about causing this current hiccup.
