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.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.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)
