And I'd suggest that if MUA's do evolve in that manner, maybe it's a

And I would hope that in the future, they don't once again try to do
something that only meets their own parochial interests, and ignores
everyone elses' concerns.
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.
