I agree. If there's no abuse issue and the sender has not requested
feedback on authentication failure then there's not much point in
sending the feedback. If the e-mail client is sending legitimate mail
that fails validation then the potential volume should be enough to
justify the MUST NOT.
8.5 and 9.2 also have MUST. In the case of 8.5, it does not seem to
satisfy 6. in RFC 2119. In the case of 9.2, I believe that it is
legitimate in order to prevent loops.
