As I tried to say in the past, having a value to return for all
queries from a DNS server that has been deemed abusive is *useful* to
black/whitelist providers.  Enough that it's looking like it'll be done
whether the ASRG likes it or not.  If you'd prefer something other than
127.0.0.1 to be used, document it somewhere.

Also, as the linked article said, "...the 127.0.0.1 response indicates
that uribl.com does not accept any queries from the DNS server".
SpamAssassin had this handled as URIBL defined, no false positives
resulted.
