As has repeatedly been pointed out, the market has already had plenty of time 
to adopt the RR and has overwhelmingly rejected it.

What is the IETF-approved timeframe in which "the market" is allowed to 
accept/reject a particular technology?

Given no one appears to be making the argument that using the TXT RR and the 
MAIL FROM/HELO identity is the optimal solution (to put it mildly), I'm a bit 
confused why deprecating the SPF RR is being pushed so hard at this point in 
time. Is there some forcing function here?
