There are several variations of text that roughly mean the same thing, particularly when you keep in mind that IETF specifications are intended to be interoperability specifications, not implementation specifications. We could do I think any of the following and they are roughly semantically

I rather thought all of the recent discussion is on the general topic of what to do about mailing lists, and that we were still a long ways from consensus, as we were three years ago. For my part, I have a hard time accepting the concept that there are meaningful distinctions between high,

Possible. I didn't count. I didn't see any convergence towards an alternative. I think adding explicitly that the MUST is related to interoperability reasonably addresses the concern that there are non-interoperability reasons people are going to publish p=reject despite the side effects. I

I think you have gotten yourself side tracked. The problem with DMARC and mailing lists is that receivers doing DMARC checks can't (absent a list of mailing lists) reliably distinguish DMARC fail due to normal mailing list processing and DMARC fail due to abusive behavior. To mitigate this
