Hynek Schlawack added the comment:

I would strongly prefer to back port certificate validation instead. Is there 
anything *practical* that makes it hard/impossible?

If we want to keep features stable, we can add it privately so it’s only usable 
by distutils. The susceptibility to (easy!) MITM attacks can be counted as a 
security bug and this seems the most practical resolve.
