ISTM (disclaimer: I work with the OP), that having a central option to turn off
*all* lists is worthwhile, though, for those that just want the other SA
features.  If you're picking and choosing your lists, then sure you'll have to
keep up to date and the score=0 solution is perhaps good enough.  Like Justin
said, it seems a lot if you just want to turn them all off.

For me, the name "skip_rbl_checks" implies "skip all rbl checks", rather than
"skip some rbl checks" (yes, this is an assumption).  I think it's reasonable
to think that other people would think that too, and that it would be
reasonable behaviour for the option.

However, I'd be just as happy with a set of options that turn off the various
checks in bulk, and cross-references in the documentation of the options.

The documentation for "skip_rbl_checks" says:

 skip_rbl_checks ( 0 | 1 ) (default: 0)
        By default, SpamAssassin will run RBL checks. If your ISP already
        does this for you, set this to 1.

If that also said "you'll need to set the score=0 for the SURBL and URIBL
checks as well", that would address 95% of this issue, IMO.
