So in the unlikely event that you roll to a key with the same keytag we would see a gradual replacement of signatures?


- - Now we have introduced assumptions about what rollover scheme is used
into the signer engine. While it was explicitly designed *not* to know
about.

I think that we can cope with this. The enforcer should mark any key that should be used to sign as "active", then the signer doesn't need to know _why_ the key should be used, just that it should be.
