Perhaps, but we cannot solve this problem, and there's a fine line between working around stupidity and coddling it.

Right, but if we can't fix the problem of the multitude of broken MTAs out there, and the fact that most of them probably don't assign the appropriate extended response codes in accordance with the RFCs, then the likelihood is that we are going to be lead to make the wrong guesses based on the response we get.

We already do that. This is the problem that we're trying to solve, not a new problem introduced by the proposal!
