Yes. But SRS is the natural reaction to SPF, on the part of the many
people out there who just don't care about SPF, or who think it is
entirely broken in the first place. Something like SRS is _necessary_
because forwarding _does_ happen in the real world. Those people have
implemented SRS because they think it's the best option for them, to
work around the breakage which SPF has caused. That was always expected.

I've always said that as soon as SRS became common, SPF would be
entirely defeated. Thanks for making that point so well.
