I would very much like to replace this text with something better.  But we were given an impossible set of requirements.  A strong preference was expressed for not having an explicit mechanism for driving toward a state where both peers can agree to drop keys.  All our efforts to find implicit signals have been shown to fail.  As a result, while we can drive handshakes to a completed state, because we rely on lazy signals to drive them to a confirmed state, we don't get to drop handshake keys.
