Right now it's a PITA to understand and implement and then 30 days later you have to do it all over again. Frankly, it's not worth the effort until the technology improves enough to make it easier to implemen t and maintain.Have you actually tried to sign a zone? Have you actually tried to re-sign a zone? Just use the defaults and don't try to control every aspect.
The real problem isn't signing or resigning zones, or even successfully completing the original configuration (although those are not trivial for the average person trying to setup their own dns). It's the trust anchors. Until the root is signed, trust anchors are a PITA. And until the root is signed, why should anyone believe that DNSSEC will achieve wide adoption?
