Hi,
I finally wrote a letter to the IETF working group about ARI:
It's a little intimidating writing to groups like this, and I hope it's received alright. My hope is to bring to light some experiences I've had as a client developer implementing ARI, and some concerns/issues/questions, both practical and conceptual. I also tried to accurately summarize a few other threads from these forums. Hopefully I was able to communicate them clearly and effectively.
In it, I recommend two alternative approaches to ARI.
If any ACME client developers would like to participate, I'd certainly welcome that.
(Note that IETF WG MLs are not my forte.)
