Nope.
The real situation is that our current blocking system sucks. A lot. And if we
just "flipped a switch" it would suck *MUCH WORSE* because it would be
virtually
impossible to actually block anyone -- just create a bunch of accounts and
you're immune until someone laboriously tracks them all down.
So, it'll take more options and rethinking and generally some better, clearer
idea of what blocking's supposed to do.

I disagree- this move would add granularity to our blocking system. If
we still had problems with sleeper accounts, well, I laboriously
explained above that that would *still* be an improvement over the
status quo.
