Not sure if this is the spot for this or not. But have been seeing a few things popping up on “Let’s Encrypt” changes that are coming in the near future. Imagine on discourse side they are prepared.
@JammyDodger I apologize for poking you but if support is not the right category please move to appropriate one

It’s somehow related, but the let’s encrypt news is the same:

This is the only impact of this change: Here’s what Cloudflare has to say about it: [https://community.cloudflare.com/t/let-s-encrypt-certificate-change/631346/3](https://community.cloudflare.com/t/let-s-encrypt-certificate-change/631346/3)

Cool then it sounds like some of the articles popping up are raising needless alarm bells.
I had observed some were specifically related or might have even been from CloudFlare. But may have only been more info updates on the changes in the chain and that it might cause some initial issues. But not sure.
Thanks for the clarifications.
