My conclusion (it won't surprise you to learn) from this thread is precisely 
the opposite.  

In theory, DKIM is enough for DMARC (this was always true), but in practice it 
is not.

I don't think there's evidence of a systemic weakness in the protocol.  We've 
seen evidence of poor deployment of the protocol for SPF, but I think the 
solution is to fix that (see the separate thread on data hygiene).
