"forced" short lived certificates sucks so much.
Now you will have an American entity be controlling all your assets that you want online on a very regular basis. No way than calling home regularly. Impossible to manage your own local certificate authority as sub CA without a nightmarish constant process of renewal and distribution.
For security this means that everything will be expected to have almost constant external traffic, RW servers to overwrite the certificates, keys spreaded for that...
And maybe I miss something but would IP address certificate be a nightmare in term of security?
Like when using mobile network or common networks like university networks, it might be very easy to snap certificates for ip shared by multiple unrelated entities. No?
