I think the v6 host requirements struck the right
balance: require the IP packet layer transforms,
and be silent on key distribution. Key
distribution is clearly a huge problem, but IPsec
doesn't mandate a single solution so I don't see
why the cellular requirements draft should either.
You can run IPsec with manually configured keys,
after all, so at a base level you can get
interoperability. This is foward progress IMO,
even though we clearly need more going forward.
