Don't suspensions by default only last 30 days? When was Winona suspended?
Suspension is always temporary, but sometimes longer than 30 days. The original limit, back when Historic was only around in the last months of sets, was that all suspensions were generally announced at the start of one period, then would be resolved by the start of the next.
Now that Historic is always available that rule doesn’t work anymore, but we’re sticking to the spirit behind it. Some cards may remain suspended longer than others, but the outer bound would still be ~3 months. It will never be an indefinite purgatory for a card.
