I think the CFRG is doing certain activities which would better fall under
a WG, but the question is a bit of a false dichotomy to begin with.

I think it would make sense to form perhaps 1 or 2 WGs for the biggest
questions that keep coming up over and over. Some form of "lightweight key
exchange" seems to be a popular one (see also my previous references to
Dragonfly).

This is definitely an interest area of mine, and something I'd like to
participate in, but alas something I lack to motivation and time to
spearhead myself...
