And also depends on whether people go to other providers. Because it's 
all a balance of annoyances to their flocks, which in turns might impact 
their actual customers (the advertisers).
If Yahoo users are encouraged to swap, and they actually do, then Yahoo 
might reconsiders. If they're encouraged to be sheeps and stay warm in 
the flock, not so much.

Adapting how? I read the DMARC fAQ: there is no practical solution 
offered. Just hacks and workarounds, all of them, apparently, disrupting 
what I consider normal mailing list use.

And they're free to do whatever they want. I hope we're not trying to 
solve the world's problem here. But right now, I would like the old way 
back on this list, whose subscribers really ought to be computer-skilled 
enough to drop Yahoo.

I sure would have appreciated an explanation in the first place, because 
some people seem to assume that everybody reads all discussions on all 
lists. This is not the case, and it is very much appreciated that such 
changes are posted to every single list they impact.

Thanks in advance.
