Interesting, thanks!

There's an argument, I suppose, that an out-of-band mechanism to
exchange metadata is already required to agree things like DNS NOTIFY
targets, master servers andTSIG shared secrets. Those things already
need to be exchanged securely, so presumably you're not talking about
just setup time, but rather over time to manage automated ZSK rolls,
etc?
