6tisch-minimal-security has a section 8.2 "Parameter Update Exchange"
Maybe it should include "(and Rekey)"

We further have section 8.4.3.1 and 8.4.3.2 to explain how to use that
to rekey the entire network.

I'm not sure what's in the Architecture document about this, but I'd
rather that it just said less.
