The matter at hand relates to notes, so doesn't involve changesets at all, and
nobody has claimed that it couldn't be implemented without adding to existing
tables.
Somehow things seem to have got distracted into talking about changesets but
that's not actually what this issue purports to be about. It would certainly be
possible to do that based on bounding boxes as you say but that does create
problems when it comes to large bounding boxes that might intersect many
"zones" that they don't really touch.
Two more things I would suggest that we need to look out for:
* Blocking things in an area may just push that activity to immediately
surrounding areas, leading the the area being enlarged and so on ad infinitum.
* It will likely lead to an increased support load both from innocent users who
are confused by being unable to do what they want and from bad actors wanting
to complain about being targeted.
Anyway apparently you two have this in hand so I'll let you get on with it.
