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.
Are there any sort of numbers regarding how are the SA instances being
installed? Is it mostly for distros? Direct installs?
SA could ship the walls & paint as you describe, and leave to the
distros the activation of such features they think their users will
need, perhaps?
In my case, it is helpful to pull SA from a Debian package and have it
ready to go, with a reasonably complete configuration I can tweak.
Starting from an empty config would be more complex to my average use
case.
