Horrible.)I always figured that as soon as you change the privacy lists to unblock presence, then the server should immediately deliver the latest presence of the unblocked jids. But maybe privacy lists aren't meant to be that smart. I personally don't think brainless on/off stanza filtering is all that useful. For the filtering use-cases people actually want, such as invisible/visible/away-to/etc lists, and various optimized deliveries over mobile, we need the server to be smarter. -Justin
