Does this mean that users who currently won't get auto-renewed will
start getting auto-renewed after this proposed update? If so, will that
also include users who currently have expired (languishing) old
certificates?

All,

Is there any progress on the preparation of the update itself? I hope
you're not waiting on my approval. To be clear, my opinion is that
we should update letsencrypt/certbot in 16.04, and I appreciate all the
interest in helping us do this; it's just a matter of the details
(documenting, understanding and mitigating any behavioural changes as
appropriate, and agreeing on the QA plan).
