I'm in favour of option 1. However, I believe the document is finished, modulo addressing any review comments, and should be submitted for review as a WG product, just as the other two documents. Since coming late to the party, only joining this effort in July last year, I've heard the mantra that we will primarily update the documents to document how it is done by current implementers. I never got the impression that the WG thinks that failure reporting should be abandoned, but rather that it is largely finished, and did not need much more changes. Lately, I thought of it as a detail of the process that failure reporting was not reviewed at the same time as the other documents. I judged it to be likely, based on the several emails emphasizing how many pages was available for a telechat review, that it had to wait until later when more pages were available in that review process. I note that if option 2 or 3 were to be chosen, DMARCbis and aggregate reporting will be in need of updates removing talk of failure reporting, or referring to RFC 7489. Necessitating removal of any deprecation of that document. In other words, a cascade of changes would need to propagate through those drafts. And depending on how that is done at this point, how openly it is done, posted here for review, etc., maybe that would remove the WG consensus classification that is so sought after. For these reasons, I believe submitting failure reporting for review would be the path of least resistance going forward to deprecate RFC 7489, and publishing this trio of documents as its successor specifications. I'm new to IETF processes, so maybe I'm totally wrong about something here. If so, please disregard what is crazy-talk.
