Ben,
Section 10 of 6962-bis-10 says:
Ifnecessary, the new log can contain existing entries from the frozen
log, which monitors can verify are an exact match.
To me, this suggests a connection between and old log a a new one, so
they don't seem to be completely independent, as you suggest. But, I see
you point that a new log will have new metadata and the fact that it has
any ties to the old log is largely irrelevant (other than the somewhat
mysterious comment above). There is a need to make available the metadata
for each new log to all log clients. The issue of alg agility for log
metadata
is addressed via that mechanism (which seems to be unspecified).
So, I agree that this issue can be closed, if Section 10 is revised to
explain
what I noted above. PowerPoint Presentation

Comment (by [email protected]):
The problem I have with this is there's really no relationship between the
old log and the new log. There is no "transition", there's just two logs,
one of which is starting up and one of which is shutting down. It makes no
difference whether they're operated by the same or different people,
they're independent entities which have no interdependencies.
