I think we've had this discussion before. This argument reduces to: "I do
not like what structured mailing lists, which have been around since the
'90s at least, do with messages, and I now insist that they change their
practices to meet what I perceive to be my requirements."
I've been smoking on flights since the 70s and now it's forbidden. Where I
live was a two-way street since ever and now it's one way. Rules change
according to changed needs.
Compelling a very broad deployed base to change its practices in an
incompatible way is not a light undertaking. For this to be sustainable,
we (the whole community) need to achieve consensus that it's the right way
for the entire ecosystem to move.
Rather than waving an obscure MUST NOT, why don't we narrate the story as it
went, what was the intent with ADSP and early DMARC, what some large providers
did, what the reaction was, what perspectives are there now?
