Yes, obviously I didn't get the meaning of this part by only reading the
diff. 

It is Receiver Policy anyway, not Sender Policy.

Curious senders might wish to kow what the expected effect of a HELO FAIL
is. [...]

There is no expected effect.  The meaning of a HELO "Fail" result is clear 
from the specification, what else does a publisher (or a sender) need to 
know?

Why do people keep thinking that not prescribing receiver reactions will 
cause chaos to break out?  Has that happened before under similar 
circumstances?
