So you prefer to have something (which most people have ) with root privileges to pull data unattended, 52 times a year, from some 3rd party host via python then to manually do (if you wanted ONLY once in 3 years) something once a year manually? Is this really what i am reading?

Certbot isn't the only acme client in town. I use Chef personally: https://github.com/schubergphilis/chef-acme/ https://github.com/schubergphilis/chef-acme/ Professionally, it's not once every three years, it's that x the number of clients we host. Which is a lot. Many are clamoring for LE, because it's within their budget: $0. So yea, I want to automate that.

I have another cronjob that fits the same description, runs daily, and it's called "unattended security updates". Just saying. Edit: Also, it's a persistent myth that certbot needs to run as root. It most certainly doesn't on my servers.
