It's all incremental these days, because regenerating the signed zone from
scratch can be very expensive.

In general, if you are using modern features like update-policy and
auto-dnssec, then `named` considers that it has complete responsibility
for the zone files (because it needs to be able to update them whenever
necessary), which is why you have to explicitly freeze and thaw them.

As far as I know, inline-signing doesn't allow you to escape this
requirement, but I don't use it so I may be wrong.

Stop the server, delete the .signed and .signed.jnl files, and restart the
server.
