Therefore, any discussion of forking, etc, is premature, and
frankly looks a bit paranoid.  It would be more constructive
to help the merged spec develop in the direction you want it
to go, than to try to oppose it on the basis of any real or
imagined shortcomings.

Looking in as a mostly innocent bystander (I hope to use (and 
am using) SPF,
not write code for it) I think that perhaps people would be 
more likely to
calm down if SPFv1 was still headed for the IETF.  What I 
hear people saying
is that SPFv1 allows processing before data in a lightweight 
protocol and I
don't want to lose that.

I believe that the New SPF is focused after data (2822) with 
before data
(2821) deferred until later.  If the old (SPFv1) SPF could be 
adopted as the
basis for an RFC for 2821 time  in parallel with the New SPF 
being adopted
for 2822 time, then I think people would be happy.  It would 
also help sell
SPF in the mean time.  Right now, it just feels like an orphan.
