What if we agree to change the key on our BGP session, I add the new key on my side and start sending packets using the new key, while you don't have the new key in your configuration yet?
How is that *any* different than you sending an e-mail saying "Here's the new key we'll put into production at 3:17:04.97 GMT, hope you're NTP-synced" and not waiting for an ACK from the other end before proceeding? I'd encourage my competitors to design their procedures that way, but it only works for competitors that you aren't either peering or directly transiting with. Otherwise, you're merely handing them a loaded gun to point at your feet...
