To clarify this open issue can we modify the list as follows (in order to
not have any confusion on what we are discussing about):

1) Keep configuration payload
2) Remove configuration payload and pursue RFC 3456-style configuration
3) Keep configuration payload and allow optional RFC 3456-style
configuration
4) Remove configuration payload and pursue an DHCP-over-IKE style
configuration

I'm in favour of 2) and can live with 3).
