I believe you're misinterpreting the comment - that particular default 
exit policy is appended in all cases unless the torrc ends with reject 
*:* or accept *:* (note that the only likely reason for that is 
efficiency, since it would have no effect if it was appended in those 
cases.)

I seem to remember that the vast majority of servers did have that 
default policy in their exit policy, but I can't find a link to a good 
ol'-fashioned Tor directory server list so I can't demonstrate that 
right now.
