I was wondering if there have been any communications regarding removing the limit on how many Death Knights you can create on any specific realm?
And I was also wondering when that limit was removed originally if anyone remembers.
Thanks.
It used to start with no limits but the bots quickly abused that so they had to re-instate it. Whether if this limit remains for future classic expansions remains to be seen.
Currently:
It was removed in two parts at retail, in patch 5.3 the limit of one per realm was removed and later in 6.1 the need of having a level 55 on that realm is also removed.

Limit of 1 DK /realm was removed in the SoO patch in MoP,
Restriction of needing a L55 on that realm to create one was removed and replaced with the SELFIE cam in 6.1
That said, you could originally (and likely still can) bypass the first one of 1 dk/ realm by creating them on other realms and then transferring them. Does cost money, though, and OFC requires you to level another toon to 55 first (though that isn´t really an issue from cata onwards where leveling was massively sped up in the old zones) 
Kinda makes me want to start a new one just to see if the starter experience is still the same as it used to be, as some of my all time favorite Qs were in the DK starting zone… Fun side note, in one of my more trollicious endeavors, my then girlfriend actually forbid her son from creating a Death Knight after I explained to her (ofc in the most edgelord fashion possible) how much fun it was to be the bad guy… you know, beating civilians senseless and then raising them as corpses, that sort of thing… And 10 years later, I still play with him from time to time, no idea what she´s up to
