-.. WARNING::
- If you ever decide to switch from manual key management to automatic key management,
- note that the automatic key management uses
- :ref:`policy_zsk-lifetime` and :ref:`policy_ksk-lifetime` policy configuration
- options to schedule key rollovers and it internally uses timestamps of keys differently
- than in the manual case. As a consequence it might break if the ``retire`` or ``remove`` timestamps
- are set for the manually generated keys currently in use. Make sure to set these timestamps
- to zero using :doc:`keymgr<man_keymgr>`:
