Making p= an optional tag, even with the default of p=none, I believe would further erode receiver confidence in DMARC policy statements, simply because publishing a record with no p= tag provides no evidence that the domain owner has given any thought whatsoever to their policy statement.
I don't see that making p= optional solves any problems, so I agree we should continue to require it.
"People who don't read the spec and publish garbage" is not a problem we solve by changing the spec.
