You're forgetting that the sort of exclusion we are talking about with the Colombos, is what allowed Joseph Massino's Bonanno family to grow so powerful. There hasn't been a made guy busted in the Colombos in two years, and that was a tiny extortion bust. Four years before that was their last big bust. Meanwhile every other family has had a capo busted just about every year.
Also, I don't see why you say the Colombos are full of rats. They are no fuller than the Bonannos or Luccheses.
No argument from me here like I said it's an extreme viewpoint from a general perspective. I appreciate you pointing out things I haven't thought about.
My point in all of this really was simply that it would not surprise me at all if those 2 families specifically were looked upon less favorably by a 'modern day commission' simply based on there past history.
