You stated that it wasn't a problem before they were free:
"I don't think money was ever the big deal in the real world that IETF people thought it was, but it sure drove a lot of dumb mailing list posts"
I am pointing out that I disagree, it was a very big deal and it's why I created Let's Encrypt.
