Why would you _ever_ want to keep a revoked key in the DNS? If the key
is revoked, it should not be in use, and therefor should not be in the
DNS. While you will still need to revoke the key at the CA, because
someone else might have a stolen copy of your private key and not be
DANE aware, that's the slow offline process that in no way has to slow
down your key update mechanism inside your own DNS tree.
