Please, don't. Currently we are using the same key for all queues,
and we really should keep it that way as we don't have a way of
specifying the key based on the queue ID (the TLS identification
is identical for all queues).
So we really need to trigger a replacepsk operation for all queues.

I would suggest just allow writes to the 'tls_key' attribute; any
writes to that would trigger a replacepsk operation.

Cheers,

Hannes
