Mcr at one time suggested an operational document for BRSKI. This
wouldn't even be specific to BRSKI but would equally apply to NetConf
with vouchers (i think). But in any case we'd need to createvely find a
new home for such explanations, because RFC8366 is done, and i'd in my
feeling rev'ing it right now wouldn't be the best new home for such
explanations.
