Wouldn't it be much easier if lets-encrypt just created the .crt .key files!? Rather then set it up automagically.

You could have it run once a year via crontab.

I would like to keep the control of my .conf files.

That will be an option.

Also, the current implementation only changes the SSLCertificateFile directive if you provide your own --key, --csr and already have an SSL vhost for the domain. (This one change is logged.)
