That was my immediate reaction as well. CACert has been given the runaround for more than just four years, it's been more than a decade, and yet as soon as a Mozilla-sponsored CA turns up it's in. Perhaps someone from Mozilla would be able to explain what the difference is that gets Let's Encrypt immediate acceptance while CACert has been left out in the cold for more than a decade.
