I *do* think that no authentication will become useful for some things.
I wonder if we will see protocols where is the a cycle of null-auth IKEv2,
followed by some non-null-auth once the two parties decide that they might
want to do something more interesting. (I liken this to two dogs sniffing
each other's butts... and then.. well. that might be safe-for-work)
I don't think IoT will be one of the situations.
Adopt the document.
