If checking for +all is justified then checking for */1 through */8 would

So does that mean it may be legitimate to treat an SPF PASS as "something
bad" if the SPF rule is defined in an "abusive" manner?

I think we'd get more flexibility by calling these something like
SPF_PERMISSIVE rather than lumping them into an existing 'bad' category,

Agreed. I was speculating that multiple variants of SPF_PERMISSIVE might be justified, e.g. SPF_PERMISSIVE_ALL, SPF_PERMISSIVE_1, SPF_PERMISSIVE_8, etc. However, it is only speculation; I have no data to support that level of complexity being useful.
