I'm not sure advisory byte life is going to be satisfactory for all
rxgk use cases.  Consider the afs3 volume dump and forward RPCs, which
treat the split interface as a long-lived bulk transport.  We know
that there are sites which routinely move several terabytes of data
under a single split call, over periods of many hours.  Given the
extremely large amounts of data being transported, and the relatively
long time periods over which a split call can exist, I think we would
be remiss to ignore the rekeying problem.

Yes, this is an issue. I think we decided at the time that it wasn't worth worrying about, but that decision is probably worth revisiting.
