It is not a hack. 

From /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES:

        CONFIG: new FEATURE(rbl) Turns on rejection of hosts found in
the
                Realtime Blackhole List.  You can specify the RBL name
                server to contact by specifying it as an optional
argument.
                The default is rbl.maps.vix.com.  For details, see
                http://maps.vix.com/rbl/.

From /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README:

rbl             This feature is deprecated! Please use dnsbl instead.
                Turns on rejection of hosts found in the Realtime
Blackhole
                List.  If an argument is provided it is used as the
domain
                in which blocked hosts are listed; otherwise, the main
                RBL domain rbl.maps.vix.com is used.  For details, see
                http://maps.vix.com/rbl/.

dnsbl           Turns on rejection of hosts found in an DNS based
rejection
                list.  If an argument is provided it is used as the
domain
                in which blocked hosts are listed; otherwise it defaults
to
                rbl.maps.vix.com.  An explanation for an DNS based
rejection
                list can be found http://maps.vix.com/rbl/.  A second
argument
                can be used to change the default error message of
                Mail from $&{client_addr} refused by blackhole site
SERVER
                where SERVER is replaced by the first argument.  This
feature
                can be included several times to query different DNS
based
                rejection lists.

I use both rbl and rss via the following:
FEATURE(dnsbl,`rbl.maps.vix.com',` Mail from $&{client_addr} rejected;
see http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/lookup?$&{client_addr}')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl, `relays.mail-abuse.org', `Open spam relay - see
http://www.mail-abuse.org/rss')dnl
