You've already given an example of a provider you've worked with in this
context that wanted to use TCP-MD5.  The same question could be asked there.

*YOU* may think it's out of scope.  That doesn't mean other providers do.

The proposal must be able to support GTSM, or no GTSM.  If, for some reason,
you are thinking the draft says you MUST use GTSM and you MUST use BFD, that
is not the intent of the text.
