I am pretty sure that it's stated as such in the wizard so inexperienced 
users don't accidentally fail all their mail. ~all isn't harmful, but 
it's not desirable. I use -all and have no issues with anyone failing to 
receive my mailinglist emails. End users of mailinglists sending emails 
from -all SPF records should not have issues. Millions of domains use 
-all, apparently without issue. Though you probably know more about it 
then me anyways. <http://www.openspf.org/Frank_Ellermann/OAQ>
