This was sort of litigated last ye-(checks notes) oh no, three years ago:

    https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CE12DD5C-4BB3-4166-BC9A-39779568734C%40yesql.se

I'm your side when it comes to the use of the TLS acronym, personally,
but I think introducing a brand new option that interfaces with
sslmode and sslrootcert and etc. while not being named like them would
be outright unhelpful. And the idea of switching everything to use TLS
in docs seemed to be met with a solid "meh" on the other thread.
