It would also result in cross-wiki block/unblock wars with no central

and there's not so much reason to carry over other blocks. If this
does occur, it needs to be a (bureaucrat-settable?) local option to
inherit from one specific wiki, and blocks need to be locally
overridable by local admins.
Perhaps after single login it may be good to have a pan-Wikimedia user
control space where blocks are discussed/controlled multilingually. I've no
idea who could be a member of this space (all admins on any Wikimedia
project?).
