I'm only aboue 95% sure I'm parsing you properly -- you're saying that if
there was a clear reason to move from IKEv1 to IKEv2 the market would have
done it already and we wouldn't be bothering with a doc like this?  That
is, that what we're really doing is akin to "we're the IETF and we
pinky-swear that we're not going to touch this anymore" as opposed to "here
is a list of the ways that using IKEv1 is going to bite you"?
