I understand their reasoning behind this, but I am not sure, this is such a good idea. Imagine Letsencrypt having technical issues or getting DDoS'd. If the certificates are valid for 90 days and are typically renewed well in advance, no real problem arises, but with only 6 days in total, you really can't renew them all that much in advance, so this risk of lots of sites having expired certificates in such a situation appears quite large to me.
No one forces you to use let's encrypt certificates. Can just quickly switch to another one temporarily.
Yeah, if you notice within that 6-day window before it expires. If you don't catch it, your service could be down while you fix it, and that's bad.
Yeah you might be on vacation when it happens
What the fuck is a vacation?
It's a recent European invention, where you travel to other countries without your army.
But what if my army gets sad without me? What if I bring just some army? Ya know, in a travel carrier.
And then you forget about CAA records and wonder why it's not working
