   I can see this being a big pain for private infrastructure.  Much networking   
   gear, for example, has a web interface for uploading a certificate, but not   
   an automated flow for doing so.  If that gear is also not able to reach the   
   internet it can't do any kind of 'well-known' challenges.   
      
   I'm sure there are workarounds, but they won't necessarily apply to what's   
   already out there.  This change could be disruptive for that.
