This seems like an unnecessary limitation to me.

For example, I know someone who regularly forgets to re-sign his zones.
Yes, he knows he should set BIND up to re-sign them automatically or
perhaps use zkt, but that takes time and it's just his own vanity
domain. Personally I would like to set a negative trust anchor for his
zones until such time as he sets something like this up, since I know
that the signatures will expire in a few months and break the zone for
me at that time.

Plus, I know it is surprising to folks on this list, but some zones do
not have full time administrators, and may have to wait until admin
staff get back on Monday morning until they are fixed - or perhaps even
until the one "computer guy" at a company gets back from vacation.

I'm just saying, requiring some maximum time makes sense, but
specifying one that works for large, professional ISPs may not work for
everyone. Can we just keep it open?
