That's just worse. So if Google says 'jump' we shouldn't look askance at those who say 'how high?'
I get that this is being imposed on LetsEncrypt, but if we want to have a wider discussion about what is being done here then we need them on our side. Quietly going along with this sets a bad precedent for them, it lowers my trust in letsEncrypt, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
