I haven't seen a need to include transit operations in either case, and

behind discouraging third-party relaying is that a mail network should
only process messages that were either originated from within that
network, or intended for a recipient within that network. This
implies that "transit" operations - which I take to mean a relay by an
MTA that has no relationship with either the originator or the
recipient - are discouraged.
I think by "transit operations" Dave means things like alias-forwarding
and mailing list explosion.
