If you are suggesting we should write a clear problem statement with
new-fangled and terminology devoid of historical baggage, and then argue
about that for 6-10 months... well... we could start that now :-)
Two routers exchanging some keys on a TOFU basis might qualify as (mutual)
enrollment, as the keys are stored someplace for the "second use".

3/4 year problem statement discussion will distract the WG from actually
finishing that existing work.
