Absolutely. Disabling by default will result in a significant increase
of FNs. [1] This inherently conflicts with the expectation of working
out-of-the-box.
Moreover, the bug report and discussion possibly affects URIBL, SURBL,
Spamhaus, DNSWL, and any other BL out there. So we should disable all of
them by default?
Btw, Michael -- you do realize that replying to the dev list will not
add your comment to the bug report, and thus is most likely to be
forgotten really soon, do you? :)

[1] Less so after a full re-score with all (possibly harmful) BLs
disabled -- at the expense of a slight increase in FPs!
