Given that this is the world we live in now, maybe it's a good idea to say,
"... because when you do, the following will break: mailing-list posts,
"forward this article" links, ... (etc.)"  The problem being that it's
probably impossible to characterize all of the email edge cases and side
effects individual users have become accustomed to, though from the current
screams of pain, we can probably deduce which ones are the most prevalent.

It's not at all clear to me whether the pressure will build up to convince
the large domains to roll back their policies, or to convince myriad small
providers and web page designers to adjust theirs. The only places I've
even heard about deployed DMARC policies breaking mailing lists, are this
mailing list and the IETF one.
