On the one hand, it might be convenient to be able to schedule rotations in 
advance: the downside of having a lifetime is that it's tied to the moment the 
keying daemon inserts the key into babeld. But on the other hand, it requires a 
reliable clock which (I think?) babeld has managed to avoid so far. Key expiry 
is probably preferable.

In any case, I don't think it should be made mandatory.
