*If* you intend to reject mail based on hard SPF failures, then you *must*
allow for exceptions for forwarded mail. Mail can only be forwarded from
specific hosts, so while it might be tricky it's definitely possible to
define such exception in a meaningful way.
Demanding that forwarding between arbitrary hosts must simply work (without
SRS, DKIM or some other mechanism) is to say that everyone must always trust
the envelope sender and mail header like 20 years ago. That is what is really
broken.
