Yeah I'm not making a point about DNSSEC or its alternatives so much as just pointing out that the last rotation was a big story, and that this is not a big story.
I guess I misinterpreted it - sorry. It must say something that it isn't a big announcement anymore: either it has gotten to the point where people expect it (good operations), or people are expecting DNSSEC to go away (bad for DNSSEC).
Still, with the reliance on the DNS for things, it would be nice to have it be secure. Or a DNS 2.0 that has solves a lot of the current issues with the protocol, but DNS has proven resilient and adaptable enough to continue working since RFC 1023 and 1035.
It was a big story because (a) it was the first time it was attempted; and (b) there were concerns that older software would need manual intervention to update the key, thus there was a need to make it into a big story to ensure appropriate folks would update the trust anchor (this turned out to be a non-issue).
