Many of these systems have been shown to falsely flag non-spamming sites,
and the more reliable ones unfortunately don't catch a majority of spammers.
This leads to a system where administrators (or users) can locally tune
preferences for the level of paranoia they wish to suffer from. This would
not be possible if there were only one model or provider.

If there were any single, centralized organization I trusted to do my
thinking for me, I'd agree. This is also the same problem that PKI faces.
