Did this port the SURBL into the release or not?
Adding SURBL to 2.64 wasn't really an option we could consider. A few reasons off of the top of my head:
- the 2.6x tree is our stable tree and that would be a major change
- the main purpose of 2.64 is fixing a specific security issue, adding SURBL would have delayed the release and added unnecessary risk
[...]
It's probably worth noting the Eric happened to have revised SpamCopURI recently also, to version 0.21. Perhaps more importantly several people have tried SpamCopURI 0.21 with SpamAssassin 2.64 and they seem to work just fine together.

Thanks for the additional stats. I'll assume the spam detection rates for AB and SC are probably low because Daniel's spam corpus covers a much longer historical time period than would typically be encountered with messages in real time. Other rule stats seems to suggest SC, WS, and OB have fairly similar spam detection rates, such as these from Raymond Dijkxhoorn:
