Sender: is completely irrelevant to the use of DMARC now. If we were to
list all things irrelevant to DMARC now, it would be a very long list. As
you have mentioned many times in the past, the burden is on the person
making the assertion. You have not provided a compelling case that Sender:
would be a more useful value to validate on than From:. We have substantial
enough experience on the value of the use of From: and the only experience
with Sender: (SenderID) was in essence a failure.

While this may in fact be true now, it may be a function of the
presentation of the information to the end user rather than the content of
the information itself. That being said, I agree that for purposes of
DMARCbis, this should be considered out of scope absent some compelling
data points.
