Nothing is ever set in stone that hard. Sorry they wrote scripts for it. All apologies they decided to use Elmer's glue instead of high tensile strength super carbon based cement. They will just have to amend those temp scripts with some test cases or you can write a compatibility shim with an

there could be a hard-link from a name like tsig-keygen to dnssec-keygen which changes the type of key created to -n HOST. That would not require any change to the existing interface. Just an idea. Thanks, Carsten. I had actually had the same thought after writing my post last night, though I
