There is a difference between renumbering every minute and renumber when required to optimise something else. We shouldn't be afraid to renumber. It should be something all vendors support. It should be as automated as possible. If there is a manual step you should be asking yourself "does this need to be done by hand". Remember there are lots of machines that renumber themselves several times a day as they move between work and home. All machines should be in a position to renumber themselves as easily as we renumber a laptop.
