Was there any published notification about this? Not that there’s a good place 
for it, but between mailop and nanog, I’d have thought I’d have seen it…

At any rate, this error message seems like it would be better as “Gmail now 
requires senders to have SPF and/or DKIM enabled to send mail to Gmail” instead 
of saying it failed checks. Less misleading that way, and I’m not saying to my 
customer “I don’t know why it says that, you don’t seem to have SPF setup…”

I mean, yay for more correct SPF, but boo for bad error messages.
