Are LetsEncrypt certs affected by the Symantec/Verisign snafu?

ISRG/Organizational

FTA: “Chrome to immediately stop recognizing EV status and gradually nullify all certs.”

TL;DR?
Is Let’sEncrypt a Symantec-owned issuer (which would make all of us affected by the revocation)?

Hi @djdole,

Let’s Encrypt and ISRG are 100% distinct from Symantec and unaffected by any browser sanctions involving Symantec properties.

Thanks!
