Can we please consider the issue of manual keying to be closed, please?
We've gone over this before many times --- and the only way to make
progress is to avoid continually revisiting issues which we've decided
in the past.  The Security Architecture document very clearly states
that manual keying is mandatory; there shouldn't be any confusion on
this issue at all.  Some of you may disagree with this decision, but we
decided this months ago.  Can we please give it a rest?
