While it is very true that receivers may implement validation and possibly
enforcement without reporting, we could solve the use case of phishing from
missing org-level domains by the same approach that we can solve it from
any missing domain - just don't accept mail from such bogus sources. That
does not help the overseers of a domain realm (org-1, aka LPSD) to tackle
takedowns or public awareness campaigns against such abuse though.
