No, per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7489#appendix-C "none" is the only
option for when a policy action is not undertaken:

   <!-- The policy actions specified by p and sp in the
        DMARC record. -->
   <xs:simpleType name="DispositionType">
     <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
       <xs:enumeration value="none"/>
       <xs:enumeration value="quarantine"/>
       <xs:enumeration value="reject"/>
     </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>

The point of this thread, and where consensus appears to lie, is adding
another value to disambiguate the use cases.
