FSVO "any" with a mind to propagation. 

The KSK is your secure entry point hence, if it is compromised, the
tentacles come out if it's included in base by default. Resolver admins
need to be aware that these are variables and not constants. Including
things like this in base make it look as if it's carved in stone. Doug's
point is well made. TBH, even having the root zone in base is a bit
daft.
