Certificate do need to roll, and we should handle that case.  One could use the 
ACME/LE model of just periodically sending a PKCS#10 request after 2/3rds of 
the expiry is past, but that doesn’t help us in the case where the signing cert 
needs to roll.

A different use case might be (later on), “please send me a RATS attestation”.  
The key point is that the EAP server is a good control channel to gate clients 
in a lock step fashion, but the Request-Action TLV doesn’t quite get us there, 
as written, as I see it.
