Does my implementation benefit others even though Akismet is catching all my spam? If so, maybe I'd throw it into the mix, but if I don't have a comment spam problem, does my implentation somehow help the community?

I'm excited to hear that it'll be integrated into Bad Behavior as this plugin already blocked a decent amount of bad traffic. Even so, comment spammers are getting sneakier and sneakier.
