I predict that forwarding without sender rewriting will die and SPF (or

You don't even need forwarding _with_ sender rewriting. You just
need to know who your forwarders are.
However, braindead SPF checkers *are* a big problem right now.
People can't even seem to handle "forwarding" from their own
secondary MX, let alone the half dozen miscellaneous aliases
they've created over the years.
