Then why doesn't letsencrypt.org eat their own dogfood, rather than have a 3 year certificate?

At a guess, I'd say the reason is because Let's Encrypt (the service) didn't exist when they got their certificate.
From Wikipedia:
> Let's Encrypt is a certificate authority that launched on April 12, 2016
From Let's Encrypt's certificate
> Period of Validity > Begins On: 2015/2/4
I agree they should eat their own dogfood, but in the meantime, I'm eating their dogfood and it tastes pretty good.
