That is not true at all. They shouldn't be using discardable. "All" only
says what the sender does, not what the receiver should expect.

            all       All mail from the domain is signed with an Author
                      Domain Signature.

            discardable
                         All mail from the domain is signed with an
                         Author Domain Signature.  Furthermore, if a
                         message arrives without a valid Author Domain
                         Signature due to modification in transit,
                         submission via a path without access to a
                         signing key, or any other reason, the domain
                         encourages the recipient(s) to discard it.
