There was debate about it.  It is mentioned in the release notes.

What happened is that, as part of restoring the HELO checking from
draft-mengwong-spf-0[01], I copied that sentence into
draft-schlitt-spf-classic-00.  However, that sentence was originally
part of a "RECOMMENDED algorithm", so copying that sentence caused a
change in semantics.  The whole "RECOMMENDED algoright" has been
dropped.  It is Receiver Policy anyway, not Sender Policy.
