Honestly I'm a bit behind schedule so I noticed mails but didn't read them
yet, sorry. Thanks for your work anyway.

Looks interesting at first sight, yes.

As you're already aware, I'm not a huge fan of multiplying plugins packages.
And while I can understand (and really feel sorry for them) people might have
requirements, I'm not personally interested at all with complex plugins. IPsec
is often considered complex, and I'm pretty sure having a gazillion plugin
won't help. I really think have a simple install anyone can setup would help a
lot more.

At the end of the day, I'm not really interested in spending time on this. I
won't prevent anyone to work on this provided the integration is simple and I
doesn't waste my time.

Also, like for all the work Christian Ehrhardt did (and I hope you checked
it), nothing here matter until Stretch is released, so there's really no rush.

Regards,
