i think it was an observation they made, and suggestions to make things better. I don't think the message was "fix this or you'll be off the air one day.".
if they have a 56k port speed(stuck in the 80's), there is potential there for a DoS from a large volume of spam back splatter.. 8)
over all, I'm inclined to accept your assumptions.
