Please forgive my over-enthusiasm.  Increasing the default threshold, and
penalizing people for not using MTX while it's not more widely implemented, are
both bad ideas.

So how about this:

score MTX_PASS -1       # Conservative bonus for Pass.
score MTX_FAIL 0.001    # Using NONE/NEUTRAL/SOFTFAIL/HARDFAIL instead.
score MTX_NONE 0.001    # No penalty for not using MTX, until it's
                        # more widely used.
score MTX_NEUTRAL 0.001 # Same lack of penalty for people using MTX preferring
                        # minimum penalty for IPs without an MTX record.
score MTX_SOFTFAIL 1    # More penalty for those who want it.
score MTX_HARDFAIL 100  # Major penalty for those who want it.


Enable MTX in SA by default.  Don't penalize anybody.  Give a conservative
bonus where MTX records are used.  Pound on HardFail because there's no reason
not to.  

Then wait for more people to create their MTX records to get that -1 score. 
Creating blacklist entries by domain wherever spammers show up using MTX.
