I was afraid of this because I am a part of a few mailing list for BSD
Cisco Samba and few others. But I decided to give this list a try anyway
and have been for 3 days now and proud to report I am still getting all
my messages that I should be getting, but I also see rejects in the
maillog from this list which is a good thing.

Personally, I recommend avoiding any blacklist that involves human
judgement. Wirehub's list seems to be extremely well run, but the
question is do you wish to give editorial control over your mail server
to someone else?

The WH list, e.g, lists just about every mailing list service out there,
so if you subscribe to some mailing lists that choose to outsource their
technology, chances are you won't get it anymore if you block based on
this list.
