This is exactly what I suggest by saying CA. And you answer it was not that!
So explain how users will create the ca-bundle.crt ? How to manage it ?
We try to make a simple software.

This kind of answer is completly useless and I know all of that!

I will never accept arguments that are based on authority. Explain what is
wrong? What will go bad?

like OpenSSH.
Even OpenSSL has a option to printout fingerprint:
"openssl x509 -noout -in cert.pem -fingerprint"
