Let’s Encrypt — Leaving Beta

Since our beta began in September 2015 we’ve issued more than 1.7 million certificates for more than 3.8 million websites. We’ve gained tremendous operational experience and confidence in our systems. The beta label is simply not necessary any more.

This is great news. I’ve been using a number of certificates from this service and while I have no doubt that the service is here to stay, it’s always nice to know that a service provider has enough confidence in their systems to remove the “beta” label.
