There are some rather broad brush strokes here, and I'm running out of
steam trying to keep the record straight.  I'll try once more:

As John and others have already said, DMARC works fine for specific use
cases.  It's already been in use by other large operators like Bank of
America, PayPal, Facebook, and others for quite some time, with no visible
impact.  The results for them have been very positive.  Google also has it
turned on part-way for the domain their employees use.

The difference here is that Yahoo has users that send mail where those
others do not.
