The whole idea of NEUTRAL and SOFTFAIL or "relaxed provisions" as I called
it was flawed.  In my strong technical design opinion,  it is a MAJOR
loophole in the SPF specification.

Yet, I understood the migration reasons.  My suggestion was to make it TIME
LIMITED.

Are you also going to do the same thing for None?  If you treat
Neutral worse than None, you are just going to discourage people from
publishing SPF records because it is safer to not publish them.

I see nothing wrong with a Receiver Policy that limits the length of
time email can be accepted from a domain which gives None/Neutral
results.
