So if they publish this list of questionable sites, what do you think the folks with the sites will do? start up new sites with the same garbage or remove the malicious code? If you are watching a criminal with the intent of catching them in the act, do you warn the public first, to beware of them and what they might be doing? Might defeat the purpose, just a guess...
