90 day SSL certificates

Has anyone heard anything definite about Google wanting to reduce maximum expiry dates to 90 days for SSL certificates? Sectigo and Digicert are the only companies who have mentioned this so far - nothing from Google officially....

I believe this is an attempt by Google to force the hand of the CAs into bringing forward the 90 day schedule. There may be some back and forth negotiation regarding when the change is implemented. Ultimately Chrome now has a large enough market share that they can force through any changes. The 90 day schedule was always likely in the future. We will continue to invest in our API with v3 due this year which will help customer fully automate the installation of certificates if they choose to do so. We will provide official updates as we have them to customers.
