He finds out when he sends a message using the broken configuration
to someone who does reject SPF Fails. Same as many people find out
about open relays and other SMTP misconfigurations now.

I meant more specificly, who you are supporting.
I've got few enough users that I can give them the personal
attention to make sure they are properly configured everywhere
they need to be.
Others are not so lucky, and have to depend to a great extent on their
own users' savvy.
