## Caveats
26+
Like other Internet CAs and unlike IGTF CAs, Let's Encrypt issues end entity certificates with subject DNs outside a controlled namespace (i.e., `"/CN=*"`), so the signing_policy file is not enforcing a strong namespace restriction.
27+
28+
Let's Encrypt does not issue CRLs for end-entity certificates (see the [Certification Practice Statement](http://cps.root-x1.letsencrypt.org)).
29+
30+
Make sure to have a process in place to renew your certificates (e.g., [Certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)).
