It's not Yahoo bouncing messages that's the problem.

It's the services respecting Yahoo's published policy statement, to
reject mails which don't validate.  So if your mailing-list munges the
`Subject:` to prepend a list-id, or adds a footer, then DKIM signatures
will break, and the _other_ subscribers of your list will suffer; their
servers, honouring Yahoo's policy, will reject the mail, causing
messages to them to bounce and their subscription to be suspended.

The fallout is an externality and does not directly impact the customers
of the service provider making this change.

FWIW, if anyone wants reading, my posts about DMARC:
