furthermore, it would be also time to think about authentication-type
migration support. i.e. discuss about authentication-type [simple->md5->sha]
and key rollover schemes and nail down the necessary behaviour
(multiple instances of TLV #10).

the prevailing method for both authentication-type and key rollover
(= disabling authentication check during the transition window)
is not really smooth.
