First of all, that's a "draft" and nothing says it will be approved; and
in
any case, if and when SPF will be retired the ASSP may be changed
or... you may just disable the SPF checks

At any rate, I believe that "killing" SPF is an idiocy; it's a good
method
for avoiding "mail spoofing" and it's easy enough to implement... and
plugs one of the current SMTP flow mechanism holes, see, aside from
SPF/SenderID there's no way to publish infos about which hosts are
allowed to SEND email on the behalf of a given domain (no, DKIM is
not a way); the MX mechanism only allows to specify the hosts which
receive emails, so SPF plugs such a hole and imVHo it's a bad idea
killing it

We'll see how that "draft" will end up ;-)
