We should not support KSK-based boards at this point IMHO because they
are floodable far too easily, and they don't scale. It is already
possible to do numerous illegal things with Fproxy. We include Fproxy
for usability reasons. Making Frost and Fproxy talk to each other a
little bit would improve the content available via Fproxy significantly.
