If re-keying is back up for discussion, let me restate my request for it to be 
routine, rather than only an niche-case feature. Any re-key schedule should be 
considered valid, but the spec should set a "SHOULD"-level requirement that the 
minimum be once every N hours or M terabytes, whichever comes first (where N & 
M are some bike-shedable numbers with some expectation of randomization in 
values for each period).
