I don't do the usage tracking.  It was reported on the mxcomp and other
lists. I've never heard anyone dispute it before. I'd have to dig through
my mail archives to find the reports, but my recollection is that they
came from people doing the usage tracking.

While I'm not disputing that there are non-spammers using SPF, the
spammers rushed to it for fairly obvious reasons. Anything that even
suggests that mail might be accepted or subjected to less checks is
definitely a big win for spammers.

Wrong again.  And the proof is that there are many domains that implement 
SPF, successfully.

Most them are spammers.

May we see some proof of that please? And with proof i don't mean that
report that is by now almost a year old and which was found to be
incorrect a while ago. 

I don't have proof of the opposite, but i do seem to experience that
many non-spammers are implementing spf (i'm saying this based on the
requests the spf 'tech support team' gets in and activity on spf mailing
lists).
