You're missing the point.  There aren't a lot of malicious forwarders. 
I can't even remember the last time I got mail from one.  In most cases, 
if you get forwarded mail, you can use the reputation of the original 
sender.  DKIM2 lets you tell mechanically that it really was forwarded, 
a key difference from ARC.

If a host is doing malicious forwarding, it is unlikely that it is sending 
any mail people want, so you can just block it.  We already have ways to 
share lists of bad senders.

R's,
John
