>This move by Letsencrypt should hopefully make them the standard for any external service that doesn't require an EV cert.
I'm kind of worried about this myself.
No matter how well intentioned, secure, or "good" lets encrypt is, having a significant portion of the world's TLS be under one umbrella isn't a good thing.
I'm hoping that we will begin to see other services pop up that are similar to lets encrypt (free, even using the ACME protocol) so that we don't have too many of our eggs in one basket here.
