yes, but the desire to have classification of providers is significantly 
motiviated by providers that keep coming up with "business models" that 
involve deliberately corrupting the data that they carry.

of course such providers would rather act as if they weren't doing anything
harmful...  which only further illustrates the need to have such 
classifications.
