Yes, we should do all of these things.
The SPF-discuss mailing list has a technical orientation.
Historically the folks on SPF-discuss are sysadmin types
concerned with the operational impact of SPF.
But the things you brought up above are more the domain of
email managers. To that end, I have started a mailing list,
spf-deployment, specifically for talking about setting
deadlines to encourage conversion.
Having a coordinated schedule is very important because
conservative people are going to start publishing with
"?all" defaults and we will one day need to agree on a date
by which they should change that default to "-all".

Posting is restricted to subscribers, so subscribe with the
