New submission from Ville Skyttä <ville.sky...@iki.fi>:

Doc says "Whether to match the peer cert’s hostname with match_hostname() in 
SSLSocket.do_handshake()." but match_hostname() is no longer used to do that in 
the first place, OpenSSL is used for that. check_hostname affects the OpenSSL 
usage, too.
