> Is there good public discussion on root expiration?

Haven't seen a specific one but I guess the most relavant public discussion on root CA-led device bricking issues might have occurred around the time when DST Root CA X3 (naturally) expired - that's around September '24: https://letsencrypt.org/2023/07/10/cross-sign-expiration.htm...

I personally believe most issues blocking old device reuse can be solved by manufacturers returning the root permission back to users, so that users can install modded systems with up-to-date stuffs. However, it's a pity that manufacturers aren't willing to do it, as it hurts their interest on selling new devices. Will laws on "right to repair" work? Time will tell.
