FWIW, it is not clear to me that the reasonable requirements
for provisioning device security information (or bootstrapping
if we wanted to call it that) are the same.

In enterprise environments we see fewer larger vendors of devices.
In the home where we additionally have a large range of vendors
many of whom are tiny and leverage a lot of OSS and who could
perhaps not take part in the kind of provisioning infrastructure
that is quite reasonable for enterprises and their vendors.

I do think both want to end up in the same state, where devices
are authorised for connection to the network and where there is
some keying material usable for security, but I'd be surprised
if one approach to getting there worked the same way for both
homes and enterprises.
