Named stopped SIGNING with this record on October 29.

Inception (20130929181450) is over a hour (clock skew allowance)
before the Inactivation (20130929201510) time.

The RRSIG will be replaced when the record is due to be re-signed
which is based on the sig-validity-interval.

I would be extending the deletion date to 30 days (sig-validity-interval)
after the inactivation date.
