--- Comment #9 from Bill Cole <billc...@apache.org> ---
When I looked at the score configuration file, I found this comment:

        # DNSWL is a commercial service that requires payment for servers over
100K queries daily.
        # Unfortunately, they will return true answers for DNS servers they
consider abusive so
        # SA Admins must enable these rules manually.

And yet the scores that followed were non-zero. So apparently there was an
intent to disable them by default that was not done properly. The limit has
also been reduced to 1/300th of its past value, deemed in 2011 to be low enough
to disable these by default. 

In that context, it was absolutely reasonable to correct the mistake made in
2011 and REALLY disable them.
