And so, to speed adoption of the SPF RR type, ISC is prompting admins to go 
back and look at their settings so that they can migrate. If a critical mass of 
admins publish SPF RR types, then the results of the experiment documented in 
rfc 6686 would be vastly different if repeated.  

SPF RR types are already standards track - see RFC 6652. An informational rfc 
warning that the standard is not being adopted should be seen as a call to fix 
the admins, not discard the standard.
