+- Cannot negotiate SA bundle, like "AH + ESP". Will be fixed soon.
+- Too many use of dynamic memory allocation, which leads to memory leak.
+- Non-threaded implementation. Simultaneous key negotiation performance
should be improved.

+- Cryptic configuration syntax - blame IPsec specification too...
+- Needs more documentation.

+Design choice, not a bug:
+- racoon negotiate IPsec keys only. It does not negotiate policy. Policy must
+ be configured into the kernel separately from racoon. If you want to
+ support roaming clients, you may need to have a mechanism to put policy
+ for the roaming client after phase 1 finhises.
