Let's Encrypt DNS broken

The domain for Let's Encrypt, letsencrypt.org, appears to have been dropped from the .org servers (whois is not showing it as expired). This is causing problems for things that try to check CRLs because the Let's Encrypt CRL servers don't resolve. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>

whois.enom.com is showing the letsencrypt.org domain as having the "clienthold" status, which means that it has been pulled from DNS. This can be billing related, abuse or legal dispute etc. The domain looks to be registered through eNom via Namecheap, so I've asked someone at Namecheap to take a look.

Verified. It is still working for our customers because the (former) NS records have a 12h TTL and they are still answering, but a refresh from .org NS would lead to NXDOMAIN. gert -- "If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out.
