Greetings, again!

Yet another problem with Let's Encrypt is that they (have to) obey laws
about prohibiting sanctioned countries (Iran, Sudan, North Korea, Syria,
at least, uncertainty with Cuba, difficulties with Crimea region). For
example Github not long ago blocked russian developer, because he visited
Crimea -- rather loud event among our developers. Visiting Iran also
lead to your block there. I worked with some Syrian government agency,
often travel to Crimea, visit Iran: so it would be question of time when
Let's Encrypt will prohibit its usage for people like me. Russia will
likely appear in that countries list too.
