  While true it is a good reminder that a ton of legacy devices are going to break after 2021-01-11.

    It's not all-at-once but only beginning on 2021-01-11. Certs are valid for 90 days and the usual renewal period is 60 day. So if you renew latest on 2021-01-10 your cert will be good until begin of April.

      The server admin also has the choice to defer that to at least 2020-07-01, if they configure their ACME client to prefer the legacy chain.

    Might not be so bad. Firefox uses its internal certificate store, and Chrome will have its own certificate store soon as well.

  You are of course correct that the CA was announced then, but the news article was also about the fact that Let’s Encrypt had just turned five years old on the day that the article was published, and was a look back at what they have achieved over the last five years as well as looking to the future. It was also noteworthy that they are moving to ECDSA and have reduced the length of their certificate names to save bytes (packets) in the initial TLS connection.
