I think this is self-evidently true, but I also am starting to be made
nervous by the number of accidentally-triggered foot-gun stories that
we keep hearing about.  It seems to me that, if DMARC is to be
regarded as a serious part of the Internet infrastructure and
operational environment, it's going to be important to develop a
pretty complete and easy to digest description of use cases and
consequences, and to do so quickly.

That the "Action XYZ will be painful if…" document isn't available
seems like a lacuna right now.  That is normal for a pretty new
technology.  I would like to suggest that its development is urgent;
and that if one does not want to re-enact the early experience of
DNSSEC deployment only even more visibly, that urgency ought to be
taken so seriously that too-restrictive and too-careful advice to
operators ought to be rushed out the door in the absence of anything
else.

Speaking as ever only for myself,
         I remain &c.,

Andrew
