Around <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2008-01/msg00089.php> it
was proposed to truncate the psql welcome screen. What do you think about
that?

Personally, I'd get rid of it all, because it gets boring after about three
uses, so that we would be at

peter(at)colt:~$ psql testdb
testdb=#

The version mismatch warning would remain, of course.

I'd also like to get rid of the SSL notice but I'm not sure what to replace it
by. Something in the prompt perhaps?

Btw., any user could put the welcome message in his own psqlrc file via \echo
commands in case they are really attached to it.
