In general, it is not recommended to carry several admin. operations on the cluster at the same time, as it can make troubleshooting in case of issues a lot more complicated. Mixing operations is also less likely to be covered in CI so more likely to hit corner cases.

Performing IPsec key rotations during Cilium up/downgrades is one such case. Let's document it explicitly to discourage users from doing that.
