Thanks. I was concerned that with keys and such we might run in to a
failure to build in CI.

How challenging for your plans would it be to not upstream the legacy
path here and just build on the bootstd method entirely? I can certainly
see why you need to support the legacy model commercially but if we can
avoid adding it and intending to replace it in the community that would
make a lower burden here long term. Thanks!
