Description
The only valid value for rf= is rf=afrf. It appears unlikely that there will ever be a report format other than ARF, so deprecate this tag.
I do not know how widely the fo= tag is implemented, asking for more failure reports. Seeing how few reporters produce any failure reports at all this might go, too.

Regarding the fo= tag usage, the following was reported in ticket #4:
A survey of nearly 74,000 DMARC records that Valimail has scanned found that just 316 (0.42%) were using the colon-separated list as a value to their 'fo' tag.
