+1.  The intention is to get transport key rotation working (with some 
manual procedures) in 10.1.  We may very well want to add some 
enhancements to avoid some of the manual procedures as a next step in a 
future release.  It will be a lot easier to make this decision once we 
know what the manual procedures entail.  The design doc should say that 
the procedures will be manual as a first cut, and that we might choose 
to automate them as a future enhancement.  The way it is currently 
worded makes it sound like we will never have nicer automated 
procedures, which isn't the case.
