[BA] Even if scenario B is optional, we will still need to do the work to analyze the security implications
and integrate it within the overall architecture.   Unless all work on scenario B were to be separated
out into a separate series of work items with no impact on existing ones (which I believe would require
a charter change), adding scenario B would potentially affect other more basic deliverables.
