I dont see verisign roots expiring every five years. I believe that they're on 30 years or so for the root CA certificates, and shorter periods for the intermediates.

it was explained to me that the expiry date is after 2038
The verisign root CA public certs I have in my keyring that expire more than 10 years from now expire either 08/01/2028 or 07/16/2036 which is well before 03:14:07 UTC jan 19 2038. Since my arch uses a signed 64bit int for time_t I'm assuming calculations beyond that magic number won't be an issue for validating the contents of my keyring.
