That's curious. Maybe I'm not understanding, but:
DMARC doesn't check Sender, so I don't see how this is relevant. Or do you mean that what one would now put in Sender is required to be in From?
The cases in which only the LHS differs are rather uninteresting though;
Christian H. is quite right. We've taken a step backwards.
Maybe in some ways that's true. On the other hand, if almost nothing ever checked Sender to begin with, and a lot of things that "should" have generated it didn't, what practical difference does it make?
