  No it is not the same. I suggested "list exclude" feature in addition
to existing "list include" feature on table RULE.
  As result, administrator would be able to assemble ONE table instead
of two-three, and would be able to reduce number of rules, without
external lists preprocess or dynamic table loading.

  IMHO, my suggest was pretty simple, and at the same time, very
efficient for PF's core flexibility. Developers don't think so. Sad.
