What sort of progress do you want?

Active mailing lists? We have, they are even too active sometimes :-)

Working implementations. There are at least three (counting only free
software). http://spf.pobox.com/downloads.html

Domains publishing SPF: this is something that is in the hands of the
domain holders, of course. But when aol.com, hotmail.com, gnu.org,
pobox.com, amazon.com and freebsd.org use something, you can safely
say it has significant deployment.

Domains checking SPF: this is something that is in the hands of the
mail servers managers. Trackers
(http://spf.idimo.com/how_to-s/how_to_track.html) seem to indicate
that many sites already do it.

A RFC: well, this one is on the TODO list...
