We do need to support renumbering.   For graceful renumbering, most common 
applications already support it with no problem, although 30-60 minutes is too 
short, because that will break for example a movie stream.   But a 30-60 minute 
overlap will work fine for web browsing and nearly all applications a typical 
end-user uses other than long movies.

There are applications that will fail because they bind to an address and have 
no error recovery mechanism for when the address goes away, but AFAIK these are 
quite uncommon.   So really you are proposing a very expensive cure for an 
insignificant problem.

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but it's definitely a really strong SHOULD.
