You are asserting that gmail will eventually do what Yahoo has done.

I can't speak for my employer, but I suspect there will be a lot of
people (both inside and outside of the company) lobbying to make sure
gmail doesn't do the same insane thing that Yahoo has done.  I have
quite a bit of faith that senior folks like Vint Cerf will take a bit
more of a nuanced view than some of the DMARC cheerleaders have done,
and his voice does carry a fair amount of weight.

P.S.  One of the reasons why I think mailing list software should pick
mechanisms that inflict pain on yahoo.com customers, and hopefully get
them to switch, is that hopefully other e-mail providers will consider
the costs of using DMARC p=reject for domains where users might need
to send mail to mailing list, and choose differently from Yahoo.
