Apparently it did this time!&lt;p&gt;An unfortunate attribute of DNSSEC: nothing depends on it, to the extent that you could almost certainly post the root private keys on Pastebin and not cause a single mainstream site a problem. At the same time, &lt;i&gt;if you screw the deployment of DNSSEC up&lt;/i&gt;, sites vanish off the Internet, like HBO Now did, on Comcast, the week of its debut.&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#x27;s a fun exercise. In the thread below, someone brought up &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;dnssec-name-and-shame.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;dnssec-name-and-shame.com&lt;/a&gt; (warning: makes annoying noises). Try to find the largest commercial site on the Internet you can that has adopted DNSSEC. Try, for instance, tech giants, or national banks and financial institutions. (Do you want me to spoil this for you?)&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, this key rollover is sort of interesting in a network nerdery kind of way, but it is no practical importance to anyone, because, after almost 3 decades of attempts, DNSSEC is over; stick a fork in it.</text></comment>
