the goal.

Also, we're working to mitigate the issue with mailing lists using ARC,
though the path from here to there isn't completely clear.
I'd say its less clear for mailing lists which start doing header
rewriting, as at some point they'll have to determine whether or not
its ok to stop rewriting, if ARC adoption is widespread enough... but those
who jump straight to ARC, especially if they really really
hate the rewriting, might maintain the status quo and be better off.

Its a matter of what pain is best.  No perfect solutions.

There are those who are  implementing DMARC and intend to go to
p=quarantine/reject who would prefer maliing lists munged at p=none, so that
they have a cleaner signal.  OTOH, there are domains (*cough* gmail) which
don't have a plan to move beyond p=none at this point, so ....
