    Sure, but that does not seem like a big problem to me. An SSL certificate provider is not something too complicated to setup, nor something that requires large infrastructure. I guess that if it has to be a public good that could be accomplished with some 200K €/year or something like that.

      I agree, but if there’s no alternative now, let’s encrypt could be used to bring most of the internet down in an instant.

        Not really, if disrupted it would just bring down SSL encryption, which wile important it is not critical for the services to work.

        Besides, if the block perdured more than a few days, people would switch quickly, I guess within a week, to other services.

        It is not something I’m too worried about.
