One simple answer.  No.

I really can't see why the thread has trundled on for so long.

Incidentally I see more spammers (far more, both in absolute terms and
as a proportion) than genuine mail senders using SPF, and the senders
of genuine mail screw up their SPF records far more often and in more
imaginative ways than the spammers do.  It almost drives me to despair.
