That's just not true, we would much rather be notified of something that a reputation list finds objectionable and take it down ourselves than have Senderbase set a poor reputation on dozens of IaaS customers.
I think the idea is that you're supposed to proactively monitor your systems for abuse and generally make your network inhospitable to spammers, not just reactively move the customer to a new IP address when the unpaid anti-spammers kindly let you know you've been detected. Personally I see SORBS as the canary in the coal mine. Except for the DUHL (which identifies dynamic IPs, not spamming activity) nobody serious relies on SORBS' data. So, it doesn't much hurt when they list you. But, like the canary that dies first if the air turns bad, if you're careful to watch SORBS you know when you're headed for problems which will get you listed by a real RBL.
