One benefit to keeping mediocre rules in the sandbox is to confirm that they
really are still bad every few months.  Prior to my keeping track of safety
ratings, admins everywhere just went by gut feelings when choosing which
non-default DNSBL's to add to their MTA or Spamassassin.  They would often do
so without the knowledge that the DNSBL they are adding is 30% the size of PBL,
yet overlaps with PBL 90% of the time and somehow has more FP's.  Or in the
case of UCEPROTECT people had NO IDEA how unsafe it was until we identified its
high overlap with other quality rules.

Keeping them in weekly masscheck also gives them a chance to redeem themselves
in the future.  Is it hurting us to keep it in weekly masscheck?
