> -that packets sent on different paths cannot be correlated. To fulfill this
-privacy requirement, endpoints that initiate migration and use connection IDs
-with length greater than zero SHOULD provide their peers with new connection IDs
-before migration.
-
-Caution:
-
-: If both endpoints change connection ID in response to seeing a change in
-  connection ID from their peer, then this can trigger an infinite sequence of
-  changes.
+An endpoint cannot migrate to a new path if it does not have a connection ID to
+use on that path.  An endpoint that exhausts available connection IDs cannot
+migrate.  If a peer chooses to receive packets with zero-length connection IDs,
+an endpoint can always migrate.  To ensure that migration is possible and
+packets sent on different paths cannot be correlated, endpoints SHOULD provide
+new connection IDs before peers migrate.

This text is good, but still doesn't have normatives, and I think we should have MUST NOT.
