Knowing Apple, this will also affect certificates generated using your own SSL root and intermediates as well.

A very uncool thing to do when the application only gets updated about once a year. :(

There's little evidence to support this afaict. Certs generated using non-default Roots are limited to 825 days in validity, more than twice the limit for those generated using the defautl roots.
