Right, they're just saying that in the past, they've sent an email when 
a cert is approaching expiration.  They're going to stop that.

It's been handy in the past as a last-warning if there was a cert that 
failed to renew for whatever reason (usually a hostname / DNS mismatch, 
but occasionally a technical problem.   We'd also see these messages if 
whoever set up the auto-renew in BlueOnyx set it for a very long tail 
(ie: 80 days) because they recommend a 60-day renewal.

But you're correct, the BlueOnyx LE process is automated.
