[saag] SKEX bof comment

Hiya,

I quickly scanned [1].

My first thought based on the intro/problem statement was: "why
isn't kerberos enough?" and if it's not, "why not extend it to
make it good enough?" (Or at least, say why that doesn't work.)

A while later I thought: "is this a QKD thing and trying to not
quite be seen as that?" (The first mention of QKD is in section
9.)

My conclusion from scanning the draft was that yes, this was an
effort to try make QKD more scalable, for some reason without
being very clear that that was the main goal.

I'm not convinced that dkse works for that purpose, (but maybe
it does), but am convinced that not having a clear focus on the
actual main goal could well be fatal for an effort like this.

Cheers,
S.
