root.hints and root.key

[Gerben Wierda]

A good 2023 to all of you.

I'm in the process of migrating to a new server (also OS family change, arch change (lot of docker now)) and I was copying/adapting my nsd and unbound configs.

I copied my root.hints file over but that one is now about 3-4 years old. So, I was wondering, given that I keep the software version reasonably up-to-date, isn't it not simply enough to use the builtin root.hints? Or is it really useful to set up a regular download and installation of root.hints?

And what is the use of root.key?
