I had been thinking about that, too, but it doesn't seem worth it.
While renaming server-side settings might be feasible with some
annoyance, this would also include renaming libpq connection parameters
and APIs, which would be much more problematic.

I think most users actually still think about the whole topic as "SSL",
and the leading library is called "OpenSSL", so I think we're fine.
