Current wording for p=quarantine
      quarantine:  The Domain Owner wishes to have email that fails the
         DMARC mechanism check be treated by Mail Receivers as
         suspicious.  Depending on the capabilities of the Mail
         Receiver, this can mean "place into spam folder", "scrutinize
         with additional intensity", and/or "flag as suspicious".

Amendment to the wording for p=quarantine:

… or reject at SMTP level.  The Domain Owner wishes in addition, that the 
sender of messages failing DMARC are notified
about the suspicious handling with an appropriate rejection message.  Senders 
not willing to be notified that their
message is suspicious, shall use the NOTIFY=NEVER service extension.

In the past, Domain Owner could express as wish either to reject or to 
quarantine.  Considering that from the options:
only reject; only qurantine; and quarantine, while notifying the sender about 
the suspicious handling of the message;
nobody will choose only to quarantine, the interpretation of what the Domain 
Owner wishes by publishing quarantine was
changed to include the rejection component.
