Spam is a healthy business. People invest in developping 
- malware to take over the control of millions of machines
- spam engines in order to work around spam filters.
- various smart things to defeat CAPTCHA

Spammers work on developements that will have a good return on
investement. Since no milter-greylist implementation scales to a very
large installations, working on defeating milter-greylist itself is not
financially attractive: it will mean reachine a small amount of new
mailboxes. This seems uninteresting when you can work on injecting spams
in massive mailing platforms. 

If milter-greylist scales to high, that may not be the case any longer.
