I would say SONAME/ABI/API breakages are not a tool to promote better
SSL settings. If we want to move to sslmode=verify-full by default, we
should just do that. I don't see why adding extra ABI/API pain would
make that transition any better for users.

We can move to libpq6 if there are technical reasons, but the general
pain will be long-lasting until the whole world has caught up. (Debian
etc can switch pretty easily, but there's a gazillion of third-party
things.)
