By their statement it's obvious that yahoo doesn't care about what they broke. It's unfortunate that email has become so centralized that one entity can cause so much 'trouble'. Maybe it's a good opportunity to encourage the affected mailing list subscribers to use their own domains for email, and host it themselves if possible.
I sort of wonder if this is really just yahoo trying to use a stick to motivate people to do the right thing? It seems like everyone's been trying for a while to 'make email better'... and that perhaps DMARC will make it somewhat better, and if setup properly this is a non-issue... after much faffing: "Welp, how about we whack the mail-lists (and others) with a stick and get movement int he right direction?" not sure this is all bad... and i think the fix is pretty straightforward for list folk, right? so all the faffing on this list and others took longer to do than the fix-action? -chris
