What I (we?) don't want is that DMARC affects the reputation of the email as spammers will publish a DMARC record if it lowers their spamassassin score.
Also I think the RFC specifies that aggregate reports are an integral part of DMARC. You can't develop one without the other. The opendmarc milter/proxy way seems the way to go, spamassassin is installed this way on linux boxes, I don't see why it would not be as easy to install opendmarc.
