Kinda, yes. It's not been in much use for years, and long predates ARF, but I 
still occasionally hear from an abuse desk "Hey! We received a report! Blast 
from the past!".

Probably, yes - while on the modern net it would probably make much more sense 
to centralize most the processing and decision making, having the report be 
emitted from the MUA wouldn't be a bad decision.

I think anyone developing an MUA to do that sort of thing would either deeply 
understand this document and read it from an appropriate perspective, or not 
understand it and need to be restrained from doing anything along these lines.

So I think we're fine as we are.
