That's fine. If certbot may be used with other CAs, and if letsencrypt is willing
to issue certs on request from other clients, and they are O.K. with that,
so much the better. Otherwise we've got something a little bit too
proprietary-ish going on, but in any case, letsencrypt is the default or example
CA for OpenBSD's native acme-client.

Plenty of folks are no doubt a bit concerned about the commercial viability of their \
business model of charging money for "commercial" certs accepted by major browsers. \
Maybe it's actually illegal to use a non-commercial cert on a .biz domain and I just \
haven't been made officially aware of that fact.
