Of course, that would require it to maintain a list of always blocked
addresses in addition to the list of always allowed, quite a bit of
extra code complexity. Or bugs.

And then there's all the extra UI complexity of letting people edit this
list. Or complaints from people who can't work it.

You have to wonder if that really is worth it just to hide an optional
yellow box? Or maybe it would just make the software even more hateful
in the end. And certainly we don't want that now, do we?

Cheers,
