yeah, it really sucks that we improved security, reduced the risk of Man in the Middle Attacks, reduced impersonation risks by moving to a more secure protocol.

Actually, you don't need to manage certificates when we access sites over https as that is done on the server side. You just need to ensure that you are using the latest version of the SSL libraries when compiling systems.

Even then, most certificate providers give you ways to update certificates quickly and easily. If you do it correctly then you would only need to update them once a year. (you can set this to a longer duration)
