Valid point.  OTOH, this isn't a first for complicated Internet
services.  For example, do commodity distro packages for MTAs 
yet bother to provide meaningful antispam defences?  I haven't 
checked in ages, so actually don't know.  Have been simply assuming they
don't, and build local config to implement local policy.
