I wish they didn't have the limit of 20 certs per registered domain.

There are a lot of use cases this blocks - Plex's use case [1] where they issued certs for all their users; large organisations (I'm sure there are more than 20 sites run under .mit.edu sites by different teams who wouldn't want to share multi-name certificates); and of course using ISP-assigned hostnames like host86-186-141-3.range86-186.btcentralplus.com (admittedly there are other reasons LE might not want to issue certs for that final case).

Does anyone know the reason for that limit? It seems quite low considering they allow 500 certs per IP address and 300 pending authorizations at a time :)
