'On 30th September 2021, ... the IdentTrust DST Root CA X3 certificate, will expire.'
A few hiccups here and there <https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/30/lets_encrypt_xero_slack_outages/>, in surprising places, such as Xero <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/xero-suffers-major-outage-slack-stuffs-up/D4CJTO724LRWM7BSQ7PFAJ3E5U/>. They claim the issue is “not related to any third-party provider”, yet they admit the cause was “when a certificate our systems required expired and some of our subsystems did not automatically trust the new certificate”. Where do they think trust in certificates comes from?
