There is one, he should at least change "-all" to "?all" (or perhaps "~all").

Using "-all" as the default in a SPF record does not have any readily apparent effect on "Inbox" deliverability of SPF-authenticated mail to GMail relative to "~all" based on domains whose mail and SPF records I've been handling for many years. Do you have any actual evidence to the contrary? I'd very much like to be convinced that "-all" is functionally harmful outside of the very limited and shrinking case of transparent forwarding, but the data I have at my disposal shows no effect from the default result when the mail gets a SPF "pass" except when the default is "+all"
