Well you do sound uninformed.  
OR informed just enough to be dangerous - LOL  
Here is a whole lot on this topic:  
[Production Chain Changes - API Announcements - Let's Encrypt Community Support (letsencrypt.org)](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/production-chain-changes/150739/4)

If he removed the last cert from that one site.  
IT WORKS!  
[total false sense of accomplishment]  
But then every other site that has that long chain continues to fail.  
Thus the "FIX" is not really a "FIX" for this at all.  
For his system to work, every instance of that cert would have to be removed from the entire Internet.
