For a number of reasons a complete redeployment of segwit is difficulty to do until the existing deployment expires. This is due to 0.13.1+ having many segwit related features active already, including all the P2P components, the new network service flag, the witness-tx and block messages, compact blocks v2 and preferential peering. A redeployment of segwit will need to redefine all these things and doing so before expiry would greatly complicate testing. +This BIP provides a way for a simple majority of miners to coordinate activation of the existing segwit deployment with less than 95% hashpower.
