I'm all for it -- it's hard to understate the extent to which LetsEncrypt has improved the WebPKI situation. Although the effective single-vendor situation isn't great, the "this is just something you only do via an automated API" approach is absolutely the right one. And certificate lifetimes measured in days work just fine with that.

The only things that continue to amaze me are the number of (mostly "enterprise") software products that simply won't get with the times (or get it wrong, like renewing the cert, but continuing to use the old one until something is manually restarted), and the countless IT departments that still don't support any kind of API for their internal domains...

What will enter the public domain in 2026?
