Ain't gonna happen. Let's Encrypt is too big to be ignored.

You can't practically use the web like that.

is looking at a corporate firewall blocking Stack Overflow right now

... "practical" is setting your expectations a bit high.

We know this, but I don't think everyone does. I'm sure that at least some places will learn this the hard way.

Maybe we just had a misunderstanding. What I was trying to say: Once this happens and everything breaks they will have an incentive to fix things quickly.

By no means do I expect vendors of "SSL inspection" devices to act any sooner than that.

They will just add an additional TLS proxy with a self-signed cert that ignores all validation. Security will be broken but users will be able to continue to do their work.
