From the viewpoint of a user, this is easy to work around. If you don't
want arbitron snooping in on you, just change the name of your .newsrc
and set your NEWSRC environment variable. Abitron is hardcoded for .newsrc.

Me? Yes, I run arbitron. Why? Because USENET is a team effort. We've all
got to cooperate if this thing is going to succeed. Too many efforts have
failed because of the what's-in-it-for-me attitude (No, I don't have examples).
