The majority of the "anti-spam" proposals being actively discussed are variants on the "prove the sender is who he says he is". None of these are perfect, yet:

- they are being actively discussed in the ASRG

- they are being actively discussed on the ietf-mxcomp(_at_)imc(_dot_)org 
mailing list

- there was a BOF about them last week in Seoul

- some people are creating experimental implementations and looking at the results

This seems different than "summarily executed".
