If they want to make it something else, that's certainly their right, but it would have been nice if they'd given us some advance warning so we could take the yahoo.com addresses off our lists.If I point a gun at you, and pull the trigger, but maybe shouldn't have done that, the gun is not broken.Management decisions that are subject to criticism does not represent erroneous performance by the folks tasked with doing the task mandated.Everything they are doing is "legal".Your (possibly entirely valid) assessment that their action is ill-advised or unpleasant does not equal broken.
Well, sort of - given that DMARC is still an Internet draft, not even an experimental standard. Maybe it's doing what the draft says it is - but it's an alpha-level protocol, that breaks a lot of things it touches. If not "broken" it's certainly "not ready for prime time" - and large scale deployment is akin to a DDoS attack - i.e., not "ill-advised" but verging on criminal.
