While there might be some domains that take that stance I wouldn't
expect "mainstream domains" to take that stance. I expect financial
institutions to be somewhat early adopters and any ISP/mailbox
provider
that decides discardable means don't bother trying to deliver the mail
should be prepared to beef up their Customer Service staff to handle
complaints.
There is a significant difference between sendedr saying "I recognize
that a fraction of a percent of legitimate mail might not get
delivered
if my assertion is followed" and "sender doesn't care whether the mail
gets delivered".
They're the same statement. If they cared about mail they send being
delivered they wouldn't deploy something which will, by design, cause
some fraction of it to not be delivered (and provide no other benefits).
Cheers,
