This is BCP 107, so I think we could use stronger language than "should
use". Also we should cite it as the BCP.

I don't get it. This is about using AES-CCM between a client and itself?
There needs to be some key rollover (limits in the amount of encrypted bits per key), and some entropy in the keys, but no "key management". Where did the RFC 4107 reference come in?

The git history was nuked in March, but the I-D history shows it came in in -03.

This should say "automated key rotation" rather than "automated key management". Sorry for the confusion!
