That would involve netsync throwing away potentially useful
information.  I think the intention is that netsync ought to take the
certs (as it does), and then you choose to accept them or not later
(using get_revision_cert_trust).

I don't think that's ideal (I don't think anyone things the existing
hooks are ideal), but in outline I think it's the right way to
approach things.
