I'm two years into having a '-all' SPF record and today I finally had my
first message rejection due to forwarding.

One of my consulting customers just got spun off and bought by a
different company and so their e-mail is being forwarded from oldcompany
to newcompany. Newcompany rejects based on SPF.  I had a bounce in my
inbox the next time I checked for mail.  The bounce had the correct
e-mail address in it.  I re-sent the message.  It took about 30 seconds.

I still don't understand what all the fuss is about.

If you were an automated process, rather than a human, would you have
made out so well?

No, but if I were a well administered automated process, then my admin would 
have noticed the rejection in the logs and re-sent the message just as I did 
here.  

I don't send through automated processes, but for those I know of who do and 
who also care about getting all their mail delivered, they consider it a 
small price to pay for the reduction in bounces from forgeries and their 
ability to defend their name with SPF.
