No reason. See http://mipassoc.org/csv/

Works just as well as SPF, giving you an authenticated label which you
can use in your reputation database. And without the brokenness.

If you want an authenticated label based on HELO you can equally use SPF HELO 
checks.  Compared to CSV it has the overwhelming advantage of having records 
deployed in more than a trivial number of domains.  

The CSV drafts are, last I checked, expired, and it appears that their authors 
have given up on the concept.
