I think a lot of us had a pretty good idea which DNSBL is usually the
one in question when people are complaining....


The difficulty is that the current line of argument is that because some DNSBLs are operated badly, DNSBLs are bad.

For any interesting capability, there will always be some bad actors using it. So the argument that, therefore, the capability is unworthy of standardization is problematic.
