I'm hearing consensus that an aggregate report should retain a disposition
of "none" when the dmarc policy is "none", but when the policy is
quarantine or reject, "pass" should be used to disambiguate the use cases.
Further, there's been one suggestion that even in the case of a policy of
none, if the mail passes an aligned authentication check, the status
should be "pass".

Are there any objections to the overall consensus, or further commentary on
the case of an aligned pass with a policy of none? +1s are also welcome.

In 24 hours I'll record consensus; if there's no clear consensus on the
aligned pass case, then I'll open a separate ticket for it.
