Considering that we are discussing plans for a bulk API for large volume
submissions, have spent a fairly large chunk of money in my time doing
the web UI, and have plans for more...  I'd say that speaks louder than
three year old words.

The world changes every day, surely we're allowed to make changes with it.

The original hope for DLV was that it would become a roaring success to
aid in early deployment, and then fade away when the root and enough
TLDs were signed.  Perhaps that is still its fate, who knows what the
future holds.  However, in the years dlv.isc.org has been there, I
certainly have not seen a lot of roaring successes anywhere in the
DNSSEC space.

I personally feel that DLV will be around for a considerable number of
years even after the root and the major TLDs are signed.  There will
always be gaps in the signing chain, and DLV fills those wonderfully.
