So far so good.

If you mean we can allow DMARC records to contain org=y which evaluators ignore,
sure.  Otherwise no, it's painfully not backward compatible.

Um, surely you've been around long enough to know that "transition period"
means "forever".

Just treat the first DMARC record you find in an upward walk as an org.  It
seems to me that will get the desired result at least as often as the PSL does,
and does not require an incompatible flag or a forever period.
