excludeEventFilters sounds like you're excluding event filters. What
you're operating on is an eventExclusionList
Returns a list of exclude event filters.

When you POST, you're asking the object to take some action.
If you want to use POST, then the json blob should contain an "add" list of
types and a "remove" list of types.
We SHOULD be using PUT to add or replace an entire list.

DELETE deletes the list. See below.

You could DELETE /applications/{applicationName}/eventExclusionList/all
to delete the event types from the list.
