Yeah. I find Robert's points about that pretty persuasive: by now
needing to connect to a server without TLSv1.2 support, *and* needing to
do so with SSL on, ought to be a tiny niche use case (much smaller than
the number of people who would like a more secure default). If we can
make the error message about this be reasonably clear then I don't have
an objection to changing libpq's default.
