That's a reasonable viewpoint.

I've worked in organizations from smallish to largish, and in the
largish ones, sometimes there are Ways Of Doing Things, that were
laid down by Other People.

There the challenge becomes how to piece together practices that
maximize my comfort level, within the ways of doing things that
come down from others.

If the libpq root.crt file can be made to work similarly to a
Java trustStore, that expands the possible solution space.
