I think we agreed there will be only be backward compatibility for the key records in the DNS, not the signatures.

The verification methods for DKIM and DKIM2 are fundamentally different. DKIM checks signatures one at a time, while DKIM2 checks them all as a chain.

See my reply to Dave. I do not think that was the only backward-compatibility/transition thing we heard in the room.
