Subject: [Foundation-l] Planned change to default IP blocking behavior

A few months ago the ability was added to limit IP blocks to allow
logged-in contributions to continue. This allowed finer-grained blocking
of troublemakers on shared IPs (schools, AOL etc).

There's some suggestion to make this the default mode. I wanted to
announce this ahead of time since it will change what happens when
admins make a block without manually clicking something extra.

If there's no serious objection, we'll go ahead and change this in a few
days.
