Why does there need to be a default list? Just let anyone create
filters and perhaps use a keyword and rating system to help people
find useful ones (although I'd expect a lot of the discussions about
what filters to use to happen off Wikipedia, among the groups that
want that particular thing filtered).

If we start making decisions about what people might want to filter
then I agree we have a problem, but I don't see any need for us to
make those decisions.
