Your humble opinion is incorrect. You are entirely free to hold that opinion,
but SPF has a specification and your opinion does not change that
specification.

Can you clearly define A Problem? Having read this whole ticket, I fail to see
any clear statement of any problem that the proposed patch can solve or that SA
should attempt to solve. SA should not be designed to punish mail senders for
typos or errors by their service providers. 

The original hypothesis that "+all" was a useful trick for spammers in the wild
was not substantiated at that time and it does not appear to be true now. SA
does not substantially advantage mail hitting SPF_PASS by default. Other tools
may have done so in the past but years of empirical evidence has shown that to
be a low-yield practice, so most have probably abandoned it. If in fact active
spammers whose spam is not otherwise trivially identified are deploying +all or
its operational equivalents, code to identify that whole class of attempted SPF
abuse *might* make sense to add.
