I think they've said something different: At least Wietse has said
he thinks SPF creates more problems than that it solves. Time will
prove if he's right or not.
It all seems to boil down to this question: Does the owner of a domain
have the right to tell the people that use e-mail addresses in that
domain which SMTP servers they have to use. This seems to be a
cultural issue (like privacy, freedom of speech, etc.) where Europeans
(and Asians?) seem to say yes and Murricans seem to say no.
I think agreement can be reached in the cases where
- companies tell their employees which SMTP server to use
What about large corporations where the company does not tell the
employees what SMP server to use?
- vanity domains which only the owner and few others, mainly family or
friends, use
The only problematic case where people's opinions diverge seems to be
the case of customers of ISPs like AOL, Yahoo, etc.
