I guess I would think of it as a priority question.  What is it that
is hurting us now?

I would say, poor use of online crypto is the biggest problem.  After
that comes node attacks.

Nobody (should) believes that wireless is a strong security system,
it's role is to stop neighbours stealing bandwidth an snooping email,
no more.  I don't think we can improve on that result by better
config, we can't get to the standard of Better Crypto with wireless
without a redesign.

So, I'd err on the side of out of scope.
