Seems Let's Encrypt also have control of https://letsdecrypt.org.

It takes you to https://www.nsa.gov rather than Let's Encrypt.

Not sure what to make of that!

    Here's a curl from my connection:

       $ curl -v letsdecrypt.org
   * Host letsdecrypt.org:80 was resolved.
   * IPv6: (none)
   * IPv4: 62.116.130.8

   * Connection #0 to host letsdecrypt.org left intact

    Seems to be hosted by InterNetX GmbH.

    Edit: Ah, over HTTPS protocol it doesn't respond.

       $ curl -v https://letsdecrypt.org
   * Host letsdecrypt.org:443 was resolved.
   * IPv6: (none)
   * IPv4: 62.116.130.8
   *   Trying 62.116.130.8:443...

    Web browsers that add it automatically probably get stuck.
