Should we allow them to "remove" the ds record of an active key? If we are
asked to retire a key and there is no ready key to take over what we do now
is set the retire time to be now, but it will not actually move until there
is a key in the ready state.

So we could make the dead time equal to the ready time of the replacement
key + max(...) + safety? Or we could throw an error.

If "ds remove" is called on a zone with no retired key should I take that
as an instruction to roll the key?
