I interpreted that sentence to mean that the decision was not accidental but purposeful on Spamhaus' part; if it's accidental then it's slightly different (actually it makes me think somewhat less of Spamhaus, because it's sloppy).

Either way I'm not sure that the outcome is going to be good. I'd like it if there were a way to pressure Google into being more responsive about spam issues, but they have little incentive to, beyond keeping it from clogging up their own systems.
