It doesn't matter. The fact that DMARC is an I-D at all is largely
incidental.

If Yahoo had privately developed DMARC in a consortium under entirely
different practice and operational rules than the IETF, where any
participants in their mailing lists would have no clue how their
contributions might be used, and without any review by the IETF as a whole,
and then that consortium had published the result as an I-D, it'd be
exactly the same situation as we are now.
