Re: [DNSOP] New Version Notification for draft-pusateri-dnsop-update-timeout-00.txt

It avoids leaving dangling records published longer than necessary.

Network dies so the machine can’t do the cleanup it was intending.

Last second cleanup as the lid closes doesn’t get through. 

It’s relatively easy to implement, no more difficult than resigning for DNSSEC at the cost of a small amount of space.  It also transfers the necessary state to all the slaves allowing them to take over if the master server fails presuming they have the keying material for DNSSEC.
