IIRC, some employees of the large ISPs pushing SPF-style authentication actually envision a "flag day" after which all domains must authenticate their mail relays.

I'm actually not really opposed to it, considering it is a small piece of setting up a mail infrastructure. I don't know if there will be a "critical mass" to force a conversion, but it'll be interesting to see - the IETF, for one, used to consider flag days a thing of the past on the Internet.
