Yes.

I was thinking of a scenario (might not be practical) where in case of
highly mobile client,

we do provision with AP:A,
disconnect
Connect to AP-B (Need to check if this can be a actual connect/
another provision as the client already credentials but from a
different BSSID)

In case of provisioning with AP-B then client can get in to an
provisioning loop.
