It depends upon how it arrives.

My position is that any certificate pinned into a config file should always
be valid, it's just a container for a public key.

If it arrives via a protocol, and must be validated, then all sorts of checks
are reasonable, but in general, I dislike checks that reject certificates
because they contain *more* than is expected.

I don't think it helps anyone, not even the lawyers, and contributes to
widespread (weak) PSK usage.
