Hey, SPF is horrible, it's just better than the immediately available 
alternatives.

SPF has complexities galore that are an impediment to adoption, but there 
are enough people checking SPF that since I adopted it, my forged bounce 
problem (and by implication forgery of my domain) has to almost nothing.

There is no solution to e-mail forgery that doesn't break something.  SPF 
is a good solution for now.  When then next thing comes along and SPF is 
obsolete, I'll move on.  Currently I don't think that next thing is even on 
the horizon, let alone coming soon.
