Does that include "+all" or authorizing more than a class-b space through any method, which I'd characterize as "malicious" rather than "messed up"?

There are entities that still hold fast to their legacy Class A networks and expose them to some degree to the world. Those who have tried to change policy from inside such an organization might argue that a multiple-B SPF authorization is neither malicious nor messed up in itself, but rather merely an admission of a reality which i arguably messed up but not at all malicious.

Somebody legitimately that big could be whitelisted (SPF Malice score = 0).
