I am using --client-cert-not-required already. :)

But that simplifies only the client half of the equation.

TLS server will always need a certificate. And client will always need to 
verify it to prevent MITM attacks. So, you still need CA.

The idea is to have a choice to drop CA completely. Of course, like JJK said: 
PKI is great and has its advantages. However, for small setups and some 
use-cases I'd be willing to live without it and have some simpler mean to 
validate mutual trust.

Best regards,
Simon
