Interestingly - this is a ban on their roots.

How much do you want to bet they're already working out how to supply new and renewing customers with certs provided by some other CA?

I notice the most recent StartSSL cert I got has a 3 year validity instead of their previous standard of 1 year - presumably in the hope that when my cert needs renewing they'll be able to provide that service. (I do have a handful of their certs which will expire during this 1 year ban. I'll certainly be needing to go elsewhere to renew them (finally time to learn how to auto-deploy LetEncrypt certs to Amazon ELB I guess, or maybe move all those domains to Route53 - I probably should have made time for that already...

How about AWS Certificate Manager? Their certificates are free and integrated with AWS services like ELB.

(No doubt they're free because they're integrated with AWS services and can't be used elsewhere.)
