It has been implemented within DISTRO_FEATURES since long ago in the OE-
Classic days. We could move it to IMAGE_FEATURES or simply have it as a
package group on its own, however the minute we have something that requires
enabling/disabling IPsec at configure time it will break. A cursory google
search suggests this is not an unlikely situation although not one we actually
face right now.
