I've noticed in the last few weeks that when I try to install versions of OS X / macOS from High Sierra (earliest I've tried) and Mojave, the installers are deemed bad with an error message regarding the installer being damaged:
I've tracked this down to apparently being an expired certificate issue:

I've begun to re-download the installers for the various OS X and macOS versions, but this has got me wondering about the long term viability of these versions of macOS as they become "vintage". What's to say the new certificate doesn't expire in 5 or 10 years?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
