No. There will be no changes to the Exim default configuration, nor should
there be.If the suggestion was made of a commercial product with thousands of
people behind it, it would likely result in costly litigation.

Being a packager for exim, I can tell you that this has probably not the
slightest chance of occurring.
A packagers "job" is not to modify the default config to express his political
views, but to make the least amount of modifications to make it work on the OS/platform
they are packaging it to.
I don't like what t-online does as it hurts interoperability, but banning a specific company/individual in a _default_ configuration is not the way to go.
As it doesn't "hurt" interoperability, but technically inhibits it, reflecting
this in the default configuration is the way to go.
As it is now, default configuration of postfix delays mail to @t-online.de for
5 days and than bounces it. Dunno if Exim has an ignore-554-greeting flag as
well and if, if it is on by default also. Either case, no default configuration
is able to successfully send to @t-online.de when used on a new server.
Since that's a known fact now, thanks to this thread, the default
configurations of MTAs should reflect this interoperability issue with
t-online.de. It's a purely technical setting, reflecting the unconventional,
non-industry-standard configuration of t-online.de, ensuring the MTA is not
generating useless traffic and friction for the users and operators. On what
grounds should that lead to a litigation?
