You don't have to run anything as root if you don't want to. There are tons of clients out there without that requirement. Your argument is basically that Let's Encrypt should have put more focus on working like other CAs do, while they decided to focus on better security and automation. Luckily, there are plenty of other CAs out there, and it's quite likely that more of them will start offering free DV certs soon, so it's not like Let's Encrypt is forcing you to do anything you don't want to.
- alvarosm 11y agoI don't think anyone will be offering free DV certs while let's encrypt is still so dysfunctional and unusable in a real life situation. There was the potential for that, sure, but they've screwed up.
- pfg 11y agoTwo CAs already do this (StartSSL, WoSign). FWIW, there's a blog post by CertSimple[1] kind of confirming this is coming (no sources or specifics, though). [1]: https://certsimple.com/blog/domain-validated-ssl-will-be-free https://certsimple.com/blog/domain-validated-ssl-will-be-fre...
