Yahoo policy says you must have DKIM, SPF, or DMARC records. At what point

Annoying, but it sounds reasonable to me for them to state a policy and
enforce it.
If everyone had to wait until everyone upgraded, nothing would change.
The problem is with the alignment requirements of DMARC. That can't
be easily fixed without breaking existing mailing list functionality.
Given that, it seems that the "From: username(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com.INVALID"
rewrite solution for mailing list, is the best solution, since it puts
the pain on yahoo.com users and people who want to communicate with
yahoo.com users. If Yahoo wants to unilaterially allocate pain to the
rest of the Internet, then it shouldn't be surprised if people choose
a technical solution which transfer some of the pain back to Yahoo.
