Keyless SSL is a great thing for people who really can't convince their auditors that it's okay to share their keys. But, it has its own problems like:

> Note: Keyless SSL requires that CloudFlare decrypt, inspect and re-encrypt traffic for transmission back to a customer’s origin.

That's not particularly different (to me), but I have a different threat model. Again, it comes down to what scenarios you care about and what you're comfortable with in exchange for <something>.

Even initiating tons of sessions is likely to mean that the key server is going to be busy. But if you're really concerned with sharing you key with us, I agree CloudFlare's Keyless SSL provides a real service that does a lot for you without handing the key over explicitly (you just have to keep doing your part).
