dkim's primary use is the attachment of a verifiable label, to be used for
assessment.  The nature of the design of the mechanism makes its ability
to be used for this purpose uncontroversial and very low risk.  The risk,
now, is all market preference, rather than functional. That is, there is
no technical risk  to DKIM's ability to satisfy this requirement.  The
extent to which the market  finds it useful for that purpose is still
being established.


And, one thing's for sure: uptake is everything. Talking DKIM down 
increases the risk that we'll never get widespread domain based reputation 
services.
