I think these issues need to be documented somewhere. It's helpful
to note motivations for central key generation (e.g., quick restoral
of service when a router fails and hardware is replaced), which
might otherwise be lost. Finally, we're working on a new cert provisioning
protocol in PKIX and this provides a basis for making sure this capability
is part of that protocol.

That said, it might make sense to combine this doc and the key rollover
doc that is another individual submission, of we want to reduce the
number of distinct SIDR docs.
