How can a recipient whitelist all forwarders? That seems a daunting
task, and requiring it may hinder setting up new mail servers.

Having shared lists of "reputable" forwarders available on the web has
the same limitations of DNSBLs, that SPF was supposed to overcome.

Forwarder whitelisting is supposed to be a local and subjective thing, not 
a global undertaking.  You're absolutely right that the latter wouldn't 
work.
