   My theory is that the 90-day time limit on Let's Encrypt SSL certs was an intentional anti-feature to make the whole system acceptable to the commercial cert providers who could use the convenience of a year-long or multi-year cert as a selling point.

     @evan I think the purpose was to force people to set up automation. Setting up automation is harder than just installing a certificate, but you only have to do it once instead of having to do it yearly (which you may forget). In the long run it's more convenient.
