Cloudflare is building a free, public Certificate Authority with ACME support to add more choice and resilience to the TLS ecosystem.

      How is that worse than now? Right now Let’s Encrypt is a single point of failure, if I can setup my certs to go Let’s Encrypt and then if Let’s Encrypt is down go to Cloudflare, then surely that’s better than not getting a cert at all when Let’s Encrypt is down.

      It’s more redundancy. Am I missing something?

          Same here, and currently Let’s Encrypt is a central point of failure for my stuff. I don’t use any Cloudflare services, so adding it as a fallback for Let’s Encrypt seems like a good option to have.

        You are ignoring the fact that zerossl exists.
