This is why predicting the imminent demise of forwarding, because

better off without it, is unrealistic at best.
Publishers of FAIL policies have obviously more pressing needs than
to survive rare cases of legacy forwarding to a third party checking
SPF. My counter is still one pseudo-551 since 2004-05 (zero in 2006).
Your counter for forwarded message rejections, as well as everyone
else's, is low because recipients are not rejecting on SPF fail. It
would be a serious mistake to assume that alias forwarding will go away
any time soon, despite claims that email will die if forwarding remains.
