Well, you are making quite an assumption when you say that what
they are doing is correct and that the only way to do anything
going forward is to munge things to work with Yahoo

As I said in OP, and in fact, you quoted in your reply: Before
anybody says "Don't use yahoo," this is both a reasonable thing for
yahoo to do, and something that others can and should and will
(like it or not) be adopting more in the future.

But the mailop list has been discussing this change for weeks now,
and it's been very clear from that discussion that your statement
"this is both a reasonable thing for yahoo to do, and something that
others can and should and will be adopting more in the future" is far
from universally agreed upon. (Nor is how to best respond or react to
the Yahoo change.)

Ignore it. I run two mailing lists, and neither has been affected by
this, no matter how much Sturm und Drang is out and about concerning
the change. Yes, both lists have Yahoo members. Yes, I've warned them
that if Yahoo starts bouncing messages, they'll be summarily removed
from the list (I'm heartless, yes).

This seems to be how the mailing lists I'm on are dealing with this.

Gotta tell you, that's not how the lists I'm on, or the ones I support are handling it. Pretty much the response has been to implement automatic munging of From: headers from anyone who's mail comes from a system that advertises DMARC p=reject. There are patches for mailman and sympa (probably others) that do this rather nicely.
