The one thing learned from Stargate's history is that killing off a character never means we won't see them again. Actual planning before, I don't know, a month ago? I doubt it.
It's good publicity though, better done by the fans than they've managed to achieve themselves (and free to boot). Which kinda brings us back to me saying it seems the integrity of the show isn't as important as chasing that ratings bump. (I'm sure Sci Fi are going to milk it the same way they did Daniel's return)
Still, if I was a fan of SGA it would be lovely to think they planned it, because of the forethought thing.
ETA: if they did plan it they should have put his eps at the beginning where ratings=renewal.
