Thank you for educating me...

Ah, I think that we actually can use both in different situations!

In the situation where we have congestion, and we want them to retry, I guess
5.03 is correct.

In the situation where we are missing the PSK to complete the minimal-security,
or in the zerotouch situation where we have to contact the MASA (and/or there
might be human intervention to accept), then 2.__ pending might be more
instructive.

"more work", I interpret to include, "more crypto"?
