That is clearly not what this issue is about.

I'm finding myself vaguely annoyed that for so long
people have complained that big mail providers need
to clean up their act; and now, when one of them
decides to respond to the complaints and start
taking action to try to clean things up, the response
seems to be "wait, we were happy just bitching
and moaning--we didn't want you to actually
*change* anything!"

What yahoo didn't do was first tell their users to unsubscribe from
all mailinglists.

DMARC hasn't cut down on yahoo spam so far.   Yahoo's spam problem was
(is?) centered on account hijacks.
