[Opendnssec-user] Migration to 2.0.1

First that could very well be your backup keys. 1.4. kept KSK around 
with only DS published. 2.0 does not use backup keys so it is just 
removing them.

The ds-gone follows the same semantics as ds-seen. In 1.4 DS operations 
would happen on a pair (old KSK + new KSK) of keys. A new DS got added 
to the parent and the old DS removed. So a ds-seen would imply a 
ds-gone. Now, 2.0 is built to support other kind of rollovers. Hence the 
need for an explicit command.

Indeed. It is in the order the database returns the records.

hmm. These are the locators of the keys on your HSM. But... No state is 
being printed yet. I'll make a issue for this, so we can have this on a 
future release. In the mean time I advice against using <RequireBackup/> 
in conf.xml. You can still backup your keys though -that was always an 
external process- but you can't tell OpenDNSSEC yet about this backup 
status.
