MTC also supports certificates that can be issued immediately and don’t require landmarks to be validated, but these are not as small. A server would provision both types of Merkle tree certificates, so that the common case is fast, and the exceptional case is slow, but at least it’ll work.
If the landmarks are generated not so often (say, once every couple of days), then the many clients will need to take the slow path
If the landmarks is generated quickly (once per hour ?), then the client will continuously download those landmarks
