Tokyo conclusion: we will explore the addition of the proposal @nibanks had in https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/2267#issuecomment-458852679.  This will allow us to address the multiple key update issue, and make the implicit acknowledgment mess transitioning from Initial to Handshake (i.e., #1951) together with the one solution.

Tentatively, the signal we're looking for is a frame that says "I have emplaced read and write keys for epoch N".  Once a peer has both sent and received this frame, then they can discard keys for earlier epochs (and indeed SHOULD for Initial).

We might also use this as a signal to drive the solution to #2309.
