I don't agree with that - if the ZSK is compromised, what good is having a 
non-compromized KSK?  For anyone other than the root, changing the KSK is 
pretty trivial.  Even without CDS.

Back in the day, one of the fears was weak host security.  That's gotten a lot 
better.  And the use of hidden masters inside protected enclaves has become 
much more common.   With these advancements over time, complicating key 
management is less desirable.
