You did not have to. I still have them in. (As well as TXT records that
almost look like them, but mostly are there to tickle parser bugs. ) 

I still get queries for SPF.  Obviously "TXT as RRtype for SPF data"
is a failure and needs to be re-deprecated. (No, I'm joking, but I wish I 
wasn't.) 

Type-squatting is bad for the Internet, and should be discouraged. And,
Carthago should be destroyed.
