I'm saying I don't want "and" to be an option, because I think it's
damaging to DMARC.  There is no reason anyone should ever want to say
that, and providing the option asks for misconfigurations because
people think it's somehow "more secure".  It's not more secure.  It
would be very bad for deliverability of legitimate mail and would
provide no additional security.  It would be a terrible mistake.
