So what? Key rollover policies cannot and should not be driven by vendor OS 
release schedules. Or the BIND/whatever version they choose to distribute. If 
key rollovers became dependent on these considerations, we’d never be able to 
roll the root’s KSK.

Software that had hard-wired the old key caused trouble for the recent rollover 
so we simply have to be in a much better place next time. I hope you don't want 
to perpetuate that legacy behaviour, albeit in a slightly different form.

If the (hypothetical) problem is DNS software gets shipped with the current KSK 
on the release date and that might lurk in vendor distributions long after the 
KSK has rolled, the solution is obvious. Don’t do that.
