Well, maybe someone like Miles should consider writing an I-D "DMARC
considered harmful", which advises users impacted by Yahoo's diastrous
implementation of DMARC to find another e-mail provider.

Perhaps the metaphorical swatting the nose of these other groups with
a newspaper will help encourage them to avoid abusing the IETF's
reputation in order to market their specification.
