1) The use cases motivate doing the work.
2) The use cases tell us something about the threat/risk/benefit of the
   environment, and inform the reviewer what assumptions have been made.

So moving them into an appendix just makes it harder to understand what
problem you are trying to solve.  It also obscures that some of the use cases
are not really credible.

Instead, I suggest:
 a) pick a specific use case (firmware update?) and implement it.
 b) talk about that implementation, and see if any of the proposed other
 users are interested in the solution.

Otherwise, my advice to the chairs is that there is no audience for this
innovation, and we should not go through the expense/effort of publishing it.
