Well, as you can tell from my message just now, I don't think going from agreeing on a narrow time to agreeing on a wider time is worth the trouble, especially since by adding a BGP message it would be possible to roll over if and as soon as both sides are ready, removing the "wait for some time and then see whether the other end really installed the new key" part from the proceedings.
