==Filesystem==
I think another filesystem location for the letsencrypt client would be more appropriate--it doesn't seem that we should need to create a new root-level directory called /src, just to put the letsencrypt client in. The [http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/ Linux Filesystem Hierarchy] doesn't call for any such directory, and since the standard SME installation doesn't contain a /src directory, it wouldn't be backed up either. Since it's an executable system maintenance script, it probably really belongs in either /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin, but retrieving the script using git puts it in a subdirectory, so it still wouldn't be in any user's path.
At least for the time being, I'd propose putting it in /root/letsencrypt. Thoughts?
==Repositories==
Second, the [https://letsencrypt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/using.html#installation Letsencrypt client documentation] states "On RedHat/CentOS 6 you will need to enable the EPEL repository before install." Is this known to be incorrect? That is, has letsencrypt-auto been shown to run properly without having the EPEL repository enabled? If not, this page should include instructions for installing and enabling that repo.
