7 - 30 days would be painful.  Yes some systems do have automation. But 
there are other systems with complicated relationships:  a dns server 
over there, a web server over here, and automation/manual system 
somewhere else, ...

And systems protected by certificates aren't just web servers sitting on 
the same server as the dns server for the TXT based authorization.  
There are email servers involved with certificates. No web front end.
