I saw the following programs whil skimming the code:

awk, grep, curl, getent, sudo, mkdir, mv, ln, cat, rm, openssl, touch

Most of these have around 10 dependencies on libs.

Don't misunderstand me. I have nothing against the script. I just don't like the argument that bash is better because it has no dependencies.

The OS itself depends on many libs ;-)

The only things that are a bit heavy in the list are openssl and curl. Still, they are relatively self-contained tools, nothing to do with the dependency hell of certbot.

busybox, openssl, curl. Done. :)
