Sounds like free money for all those certificate authorities out there. Imma start my own CA with blackjack and hookers.

Or... They do what they did last time the lifetime was cut down from 3-10 years down to 395 days... Just issue you a new certificate when the old one runs out and up to whatever the time period you bought it for...?

Let's Encrypt isn't the only CA to use ACME, you can auto renew with basically any CA that implemented it (spoiler: most of them have)
