Let's Encrypt Has Issued a Billion Certificates
I shudder to think about what will happen if they go down for whatever reason. Or get compromised, or the renewal gets bugged etc.<p>It is all cool and great, but is it sustainable long term, who guarantees that everything will work in 10 years? Monocultures are not desirable.<p>A ray of hope - you can get a two-year certificate for 10 bucks - so right there, another major benefit of Let's Encrypt, they makes for better competition. (ok I know Apple will stop honoring these starting in the Fall, but I still got two years since the expiration will be for new certificates)
