That'd be a bit over the top. Luckily it's not true...

Unfortunately the announcement only says that domains on
AOL's whitelist should use SPF records to prevent their
IP addresses from falling off AOL's whitelist over time.
I wish they started to honor SPF records for incoming mail
from all domains with a record, that way I wouldn't get
bounces from them for mail with my address forged as the
sender ...
