While that is certainly one plausible interpretation of the 7208 language, it says "definitive policy result", a phrase that's not defined anywhere, which may or may not involve a decision about mail disposition. A "pass" result certainly strikes me as a definitive policy result. >Avoiding a check that has been determined to be pointless is the only change >in this area in RFC 7208. Indeed, and that turns out to be a lot more incompatible than was appreciated at the time.
