No, the DKIM_VERIFIED (or rather: DKIM_VALID, as it is now called)
(with a near-zero score) is valuable for two reasons: in combination
with other rules adds flexibility to whitelisting-type of rules, and
provides a quick-glance information when checking a log file.

It acquired a more appropriately named alias DKIM_VALID, with the
same meaning. Newer rules use the new name. The old one still works,
so old rules are not broken by this renaming.

Yes. It is all documented in the Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM
man page.
