I agree with you about the idea of turning off everything and just delivering 100% commented configuration files.. I believe SA is a framework that must have walls & paint added to make it a house. Others want it ready to go as a pre-fab house aka a drop-in spam filter. As a project, the majority supports the drop-in model so I support the will of the PMC. The DNSBlocklist inclusion policy from 2011 has served us well with a lot of users and very few complaints. But if you think of edits it might need, we can always improve it. DNS Blocklists and the free for some model really help the drop in spam filter be effective.
