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

I've no idea what the lower limit is or should be, but I'm quite sure that 7 years exceeds it by a very comfortable margin.


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?

Surely this has been amply covered, multiple times. Rehashing it won't be productive.
