Let's Encrypt is brilliant and the web needs it but the tooling isn't quite there. For example with haproxy you need the entire chain and private key together, which I have to do manually. As the API is open it's doable - I may even do something myself. I can't wait until I have something that somebody else or I has written that, once the API is complete, you can stick in a cron job and does the concatenation and reloads haproxy/nginx/whatever. Until then the whole thing is beta. It's not even the monetary aspect - i'd happily pay for certs, but LE is so on the way to making it a devop as opposed to a finance/ops thing that it needs to be encouraged. Donation incoming...
