I don't think so. Judging from discussions in forums where this topic
is more prevalent (spam-l, spamtools) MAPS seems to be a bit of a
blackhole itself, with lots of sites being nominated as spam sources
for the MAPS RBL and very few actually seeming to get listed.

Someone else, perhaps Roeland, mentioned that MAPS is a lot more 
deliberate than ORBS is. Also mentioned was the fact that that can 
be viewed either as a good thing or a bad thing depending on your 
point of view. It's true. Some people like the more aggressive stance
ORBS takes. Some people don't like the apparent abitrariness (if that's
a word) of some of the ORBS listings.
