Unlikely. Blocklists are used by choice, and blocklists which either aren't effective or don't have sane policies don't get chosen often. (See "BLARS", which even blars was recommending that you don't use the last time I checked.)
unfortunately, that *still* didn't stop people from using it, which translated into an unresolvable headache for me as a sp. if you don't consider a blacklist to be usable by the public, don't publish it. however, publishing a draconian blacklist seems to get you a 'hardcore' label/clout in certain circles and is thus irresistible for some. -p
