p=quarantine with pct=0 is useful to test DMARC with mailing list/groups
which perform "From" rewrite based on DMARC policy. It's safe, because
it actually works like "none" but it causes From rewrites, because it's
still considered as "quarantine".

I would never recommend to use "quarantine" without pct=0, because it
can  mask serious deliverability problems.
