I want to make clear that I'm not opposed to Vault in general. I'm questioning 
the necessity of Vault from the beginning because it will delay DNSSEC 
significantly.

One of the proposals in this thread is to use something simple for DNSSEC keys 
(with few lines of Python code) and migrate DNSSEC with Vault when Vault is 
available and stable enough (in some later release).

We will have one huge release with DNSSEC + Vault at once if we to postpone 
DNSSEC to the same release as Vault.

As a result, it would be harder to debug it because we will have to find if 
something is broken because of:
- DNSSEC-IPA integration
- Vault-IPA integration
- DNSSEC-Vault integration.

I don't think it is a good idea to make such huge release.
