Key rotation is not, modulo basic features any IdP has to support to be a non-toy, just a matter of software behavior. It's a meticulous process involving a whole range of technical and non-technical steps, and is generally painful at any scale.

You never do it unless you have a specific reason, and you do it in such a way as to eliminate whatever issue caused it to happen so it doesn't recur.

I have discussed mine at length on list. It took 9 months from start to finish.
