Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'll have to find a few friends to run an ACME service together with. Unfortunately, in most cases the certificate store is global across applications, so presumably we'll hit a brick wall with browser requirements.

(The services are all TLS based. They are just not HTTP based, and CRLs are generally delivered via HTTP. And I'm not going to wrangle a HTTP client into my mail server, or worse, postgres instance. The latter could also work with a local CA, it's primarily SMTP that doesn't.)

(...or I just ignore revocation and cross my fingers it'll never come up...)
