Ah, no, I meant that people may depend on the documented behaviour of .getpeercert's returning an empty dict (which I mixed up with returning None) if the certificate was not validated.

That this dictionary's contents depends on the validation is a bit quirky but it's documented so changing that one would surely break existing code.
