We think we have understood the main issue about this. It is because people
wants to achieve different goals (some are commons).

- fingerprint: is to provide a simple solution to protect SMB company of MIM
  attack. By simple, I mean that doesn't imply any thing to configure and
  doesn't add anything to the GUI (which is already complicated)

- CA check: is to provide a general solution for certificate validation by
  using existing tools that are more complicated and will not fit well in SMB
  (non-IT).

My conclusion is that both solution can be implemented together. We just need
to add validation with CA if a specific file exists.
