Like Shane said, yes, but which lesson? For me, it means you should
not put trust anchors in binary packages, unless there is an automatic
update mechanism (is it the case with RedHat?). Another possible
lesson is that you should use DLV and not rely on static files. 

(The signing of the root won't help since there is no announced
timeline for the delegation, the insertion of DS records. Even if
there was, ".arpa" is not signed.)
