Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:3 nickm]:
 > I am fine with raising the acceptable range, but having *no* liveness
 checks on the cert at all seems like a less good idea.  Shall we say 48
 hours?

 We nuked the liveness checks on our TLS certificates in the fix for #4014,
 by increasing cert lifetimes to one year.  Any certificate which is ‘not
 yet valid’ should be accepted.
