No. There was no consensus. Major difference.

of 3rd party signers for example -- that was rejected.

No, for all intent and purposes, it was never given a chance because a) this key cogs never understood it, b) was confused by other REPUTATION designs ambitions and c) due to some wasted requirements document molded by a person who never believed in strict 3PS designs in the first place.

No one should be surprise that the same critical issues highlighted nearly 3+ years ago is the same issue today. It can't be ignore and I have serious doubt DKIM will be seriously adopted in mass because 3PS was neglected and never adequately and seriously accepted for consideration by its cogs. Unfortunately, the decision was made to IGNORE those who have good and excellent input. So no, there was never never any serious consideration, thus any valid consensus one way or another.
