>       Let's Encrypt will begin issuing wildcard certificates in
>       January of 2018. Wildcard certificates are a commonly
>       requested feature and we understand that there are some use
>       cases where they make HTTPS deployment easier. Our hope is
>       that offering wildcards will help to accelerate the Web's
>       progress towards 100% HTTPS.  Let's Encrypt is currently
>       securing 47 million domains via our fully automated DV
>       certificate issuance and management API. This has contributed
>       heavily to the Web going from 40% to 58% encrypted page loads
>       since Let's Encrypt's service became available in December
>       2015. If you're excited about wildcard availability and our
>       mission to get to a 100% encrypted Web, we ask that you
>       contribute to our summer fundraising campaign.  A wildcard
>       certificate can secure any number of subdomains of a base
>       domain (e.g. *.example.com). This allows administrators to use
>       a single certificate and key pair for a domain and all of its
>       subdomains, which can make HTTPS deployment significantly
>       easier.
