But that is exactly what happens here, they obviously don't get it at all.

... and yet the DMARC rollout continues. My point being that complaining about it has been ineffective so far, and is likely to continue to be ineffective.

In case you didn't know or realize, what DMARC specifies for p=reject
is actually a real felony crime in Germany (no kidding!),

I can't comment intelligently on that point. However I would assume that the high-powered attorneys at the large multi-national corporations (Yahoo! and AOL) who have already deployed it don't think you're right. OTOH if you are right, it will make an interesting side show. :)

It also should stop since it is technically wrong.

That's your opinion, and the opinion of a non-trivial number of people on this list. But again, even if you're right, the thing is being deployed anyway. So fixing the mailing list software is the right thing to do regardless.

It is the tail trying to wag the dog

You have "the tail" and "the dog" reversed. Mailing list traffic is a tiny fraction of what the big providers carry. IT is the tail.
