Absolutely. I've already removed all trace of DK from every system I
manage, using only DKIM.

IMHO, 6 months notice is a good time frame. If 2.4.0 is scheduled for
summer release, I think that's too quick though. I guess the real
stat needed is how many people are running 2.2.x or 2.3.0 and are
actually using the DK code. If it's a really low number, 3 months
might be sufficient. If it's a significant number, then longer is
better. Further discussion might be necessary to define
"significant".
