Can you perhaps be more articulate about what you find odious about LetsEncrypt et al? Presumably they don't actually ask for any first-borns, so some concrete examples would be helpful to determine if this is indeed a legitimate concern. -----Original Message----- From: Eric J.

If I can't get a free cert without signing over my first-born, it's too expensive. So I'd rather not see this as TAG's fallback position, that my being unwilling to sign over my first-born is not to be taken seriously as an obstacle to wider adoption. Free != without cost. -Eric
