The issue in my mind is that the implementers and operators have said
they cannot use IPsec for non-protocol issues.  The implementations
don't currently support using IPsec for control traffic.  So, it may
well be a non-starter.

I want to see the problem solved far more than I want to see it solved
with IPsec.  But if I were starting from a clean slate I would prefer
IPsec.
