s/may be/is/
It is always more desirable to avoid exposing a mail address, I can't
think of a "may be" case, and would still like to see something even
stronger:
in particular an injector SHOULD NOT add any information which exposes the
sender's mail or personal information; tracing and accountability information
SHOULD be provided in the Injector-Info header (see 6.19.1 for usage note on
Injector-Info).
This still doesn't actually prohibit current practice, but it clearly
states that something else is best pracctice. With the wording on
rewrite, I think users of sites which still add Sender can now provide
their own Sender, and at worst the post will be rejected (better than
having to change your address).
