SPF does not stop spam. It stops forgery. Even when SPF has 100% implementation, spammers will just have SPF records like everyone else. They won't be able to forge your domain in the return-path, however.

Absolutely. But right now (rather than in forseeable future) how many spammers have setup SPF? I guess I haven't actually looked at numbers in the email that I receive, but I'm guessing that for now not many spammers have SPF.
