example #1:

        conn foo
                rekey=no
                audo=add

admin runs: ipsec auto --up foo

This connection will die when the lifetime is reached. That might not be
obvious to the admin.

example #2:

        conn foo
                rekey=no
                auto=start

This connection will work for 1h when you boot the machine, then die.

example #3:

        conn foo
                rekey=no
                dpdaction=restart

This actually turns into a warning and get changed to dpdaction=hold

example #4:

        conn foo
                rekey=yes
                auto=add

This connection actually does not come up at boot unless the other end
does. (and it doesn't even prevent packet leaks)

example #5

        conn foo
                keyingtries=3
                rekey=no

What does this even mean? if you run ipsec auto --up it will try and if
failing, will try two more times in the background, then give up forever


example #6

        conn foo
                keyingtries=0
                rekey=no

admin runs ipsec auto --up, now it basically retries forever, but if it
comes up will work once and then stop after the one hour and fail.

What does this even mean? if you run ipsec auto --up it will try and if
failing, will try two more times in the background, then give up
forever.


example #7
        conn foo
                dpdacion=hold
                auto=add
                keyingtries=0


etc etc. lots of methods to make a connection really inconsistent.
