Thank you! So I guess that did go into effect.

Some bits I got sorted out in my head:

1) As you said, Chris, it only applies to certs issued after the change,
i.e. after September 1st
2) It only applies to certs issued by CAs in the OSs root store (which I
assume Safari uses)
3) If a cert is valid for longer than 398 days, it's rejected even before
the first year is up
