That's IMHO a bad idea.  ?all should be the same as "no SPF".

You could still use PASS in your scoring somehow.  Or if you
have identified domains where you insist on handling ?all like
~all you could use your own overwrites only for these domains.

I was able to discover what was going on and fix it

Good.  Angry users claiming that their mails are "trashed by
SPF" won't help, publishing ?all shouldn't be dangerous.  Bye.
