This means ARC will be needed not only for mailing lists which modify

not be needed anymore because it has now the same function as SPF -
verifiying the origin of direct emails - and SPF is easier to implement for
most administrators.

+1.

It basically (almost) turns DKIM into SPF. That's not that appealing a
solution.

For exclusive policies (SPF -ALL), you really don't need DKIM, DMARC or ARC
for that matter since the receiver (at least ours) will never accept the 
payload
anyway, i.e. it never gets to the SMTP "DATA"
state.  SPF does not require you to accept the mail for the hard reject policy
(-ALL).


Hector, the reality is that most mailbox providers do not reject on SPF -all 
because so many senders don't understand what they are "saying" with -all and 
the mailbox providers are the ones who get the complaints about mail not 
getting delivered. THAT is reality.
