Is anyone already working to support the alternates links in LE responses?
The server MAY provide one or more link relation header fields
[RFC8288] with relation alternate. Each such field SHOULD express
an alternative certificate chain starting with the same end-entity
certificate. This can be used to express paths to various trust
anchors. Clients can fetch these alternates and use their own
heuristics to decide which is optimal.
This would be needed to support the LE announcement where they are
transitioning to their own root CA?

If noone is, we may begin work on a patch. Thank you for your consideration.
