It wouldn't matter. Sensible mailing lists would reject non-first-hop
mails for domains with p=validate. Spoofers can still spoof directly,
but they cannot use mailing lists to spread their spoofed mails.

This is a marked upgrade from p=none which most domains are forced to
use at the moment.

Then as infrastructure improves, recipients will start to reject
incoming non-first-hop mail with p=validate if it does not have a valid
ARC header.
