Yes we do. The number of KSK private key access should be kept at a
minimum and all of them audited. If you remove the split, any operations
person can create secret ZSKs to be used in targeted attacks. It might
be very unlikely but I think we need the insurance.

I agree doing this annually would prevent hardcoding in software. I
think that is a great discussion to start a week after this roll :)
