Does seem like it might have an impact on SMTP...

Who is using Let's Encrypt web server certs for SMTP client authentication?

More people than you expect, I suppose. Might as well raise my own hand - I
myself could easily do with self-signed, but there are more users that use
trashy A**le tools that won't really budge if you're a non-technical person.

Anyway, this change is not impacting server auth, only client auth, which not
many people outside of larger companies will be using.
