Inline-signing / dnssec-policy: Signed SOA serial diverges from source serial causing monitoring warnings

All these discussions about different ways to code time into the serial
makes me want to point out that no such local convention is written in
stone.  You can change your policy/scheme anytime you want, and as many
times you want. Speculating about potentional future issues is
meaningless.

Use whatever scheme you find useful *today*.

(the OP pointed out some real bugs though - but those are in monitoring
systems, not in BIND or the protocol)
