+1.  Amen, brother.


Not really, IMNSHO. The difference is that an unencrypted session isn't pretending to be secure. In any case, it doesn't seem too intrusive for us to warn, at least in psql, with something like:

SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256) Host Certificate Unverified

If people want to get more paranoid they can always set PGSSLMODE to verify-ca or verify-full.
