Do we actually need to pin the cert, or just make sure it's valid?

When we legitimately change certs (expiration, configuration change, etc) we don't want to scare users with a warning...

It is already requires to be valid.

We should perhaps start a larger conversation about cert pinning. I will investigate how other browsers and apps do pinning when I'm back online.
