No one should avoid publishing "-all" because there are clueless receivers.

How about clueless forwarders?

Receivers choose their (legitimate) forwarders, so a clueless forwarder
is still a clueless receiver.  (A receiver with a clue would certainly
*not* want email "forwarded" by random MTAs that they did not request to
do so.)  If a receiver is forced to deal with a badly configured forwarder,
then a simple whitelist accomodates that without causing problems with SPF.
