Sure, but the warnings were far from a clear indication that resigning
of the entire zone has stopped.  In any case, logging isn't exactly the
best interface for realtime monitoring.

I do think that exposing the next expiration time for monitoring and
likewise a list of zones where that time is too soon would be of value
to operators.  It doesn't obviate the need for active query probes,
those should still also happen, but I do think that operators would
benefit from such a (new) signal.
