That's a great use case; I can't say that I've ever used it myself (what client are you using that actually allows you to do this, by the way?), but I can see the value in it. This seems like a great candidate to add to the blocking command, and something that we should persue if we think that it's a common enough use case. However, I don't see it as a blocker to deprecating privacy lists (it's not like deprecating privacy lists instantly means that all clients and servers will stop supporting it; it's just the XSF recommending that it not be implemented anymore for new implementations). —Sam
