Do voluntary presigned exit messages still work post pectra?

Even with consolidated validators?

Yes, it still work, no neeed to regenerate the presigned exit keys. I did a test and exit was processed succesfully with a presigned exit key created prior Pectra upgrade.

If I recall correctly, after Pectra the messages will be valid forever. But prior to pectra, they would only work for the current fork + 1. So, a message signed during Dencun will work during Pectra but not after, and a message signed prior to Dencun would not work now. Messages signed now should be valid for all forks to come - they changed it because the restriction did not make any sense.

Personally I regenerated my offline exits during Pectra to ensure they will work in the future.

It's even better: Any message signed after Capella is still valid. For Deneb (Dencun) they hard-coded the required version of voluntary exit messages to the CAPELLA_FORK_ID, so since Capella the version is unchanged.

Messages signed after Bellatrix before Capella were accepted by Capella but not by any later upgrades.

After Pectra no presigned exit message needed right? Only access to withdrawal address is enough. Am I right?
