I'm not known for sufficient gentleness, I'm afraid. A personal failing.

I know that a new RA layer is not something to do for 1.0, but what
I'm looking for (and more or less was looking for from the start) is
hooks in the client software to make use with ugly tunnel based hacks
over ssh easier for the end user. Eventually we could talk about a new
RA when things are further along.
