The problem is that the client might end up receiving only some of the NCID frames, unless the server always sends (and retransmits) the set of NCID frames as a whole.

But anyways, I agree that (a) is probably fine.

That is because it is trivial to design a server that never requests CID retirement during the handshake. All you need to do is start issuing the new generation of CIDs at least _N_ seconds before sending NCID frames that asks for the retirement of the previous generation, where _N_ is your handshake timeout.

Knowing that this design is why I initially preferred (c), not realizing that it works equally well with (a). But know that I understand that, I prefer (a) as it is simpler.
