My view is starting to change on this.. can you really trust a LAN beyond a certain size? (That size being what one person can comfortably architect and maintain.)
Nowadays, I'm a firm believer in "encrypt all the things", but that's because I'm a geek and can deal with the PITA. There needs to be either an encryption mechanism that's completely separate from authentication, or the use case of LAN encryption for regular people needs to be addressed in some other way.
