  IKE took a lot of effort because it is complicated. All complicated systems
need good run time diagnostics tools. Manual keying is an important
diagnostic tool because it verifies that the problem isn't in the IPsec
portions. 
  If supporting a manual keying API requires too much memory, or something,
then alternate boot images may be an option.
