It seems like either too much or not enough.  This at least slightly concerns 
me because I don't want to warn about the implication of one DNS feature 
without being comprehensive.  DMARC deployment in any non-trivial organization 
is an inter-disciplinary task, even more so PSD DMARC.  I don't think we want 
to take on being a deployment guide, so I'd leave it out.
