| Around the 4.5 release I'd like to put forward making  a few pervasive
| changes.

I don't know all the logisticsl

| When I say around I mean that period around the release during which the
| mainline is pretty much frozen.

Makes sense.

| before:
| - s/TRUE/true/ s/FALSE/false/
|   If this is done just before the release patches to 4.5 won't have to deal
| with it.

Yes!

If a tool will handle it, be a little more careful:

	s/\<TRUE\>/true/g
	s/\<FALSE\>/false/g

GNU sed seems to handle this:

	$ echo 'x x xx' | sed -e 's/\<x\>/y/g'
	y y xx

| after:
| - add ikev1 to all the ikev1 test names; and ikev2 to all the ikev2
| test names

(Broken Record) "ikev1_" is too long.  We should systematically use
"v1_" or something else concise.  For test names, "1_" should be OK.

When can we ditch ikev1 code and make this moot?  I thought we'd long
passed our original target.
