I think autoconfiguration and explicit are completely orthogonal problems

Explicit (in the sense the user knows a gateway is in use, can inspect the
gateway settings, and can refuse to use it) is absolutely required for
security reasons.

That does not mean the set up of this gateway can't be automated. The
decision needs to be left to humans. The plumbing, to software & protocol.
