If son-of-IKE mandates support for self-signed certificates, then one does
not need to depend on the quality of the CA products to use public key
authentication.
The origin of the desire to keep pre-shared keys is due to "poorly designed
CA products" --- really more to do with business models of certain public
key libraries.
