This would be more a thing for Let's Encrypt's website to do than the server software, for that reason I'm going to mark invalid.

The concept would be best discussed in a Let's Encrypt-specific forum rather than Boulder. Going through the About page I don't think we actually have a public list for such comments at this time. While invalid, I'll assign myself and close after letting you know a better place to bring the discussion.

Thank you @jcjones. I felt bad posting it on this project but couldn't find a better place. Your prompt response is great!

hmmm

@jcjones is there a better place to bring this up?

@bdaehlie can you make a suggestion? There's still nothing that I know of.

There isn't a great place, but the ca-dev mailing list is probably most appropriate.

If you're just asking the question "Do we have a warrant canary?" then right now the answer is no. We're aware of the concept and it has been considered, we don't have much to say about it right now beyond that.
