-# Summary
-Stop relying on Trillian to update tree head timestamps.
-
-# Description
-A sigsum log is expected to produce a new to-sign tree head every five minutes.
-If no new entries were added, only the timestamp is updated to ensure freshness.
-
-The current sigsum-log-go implementation assumes that Trillian ensures that a
-new tree head is produced every five minutes. It can be configured as follows:
-```
-$ createtree --help
-Usage of ./createtree:
-[...]
- -max_root_duration duration
- Interval after which a new signed root is produced despite no submissions; zero means never (default 1h0m0s)
-[...]
-```
-
-It would be less error-prone to configure this from sigsum-log-go instead, as
-part of the `StateManager` interface based on a constant (i.e., 5 minutes).
