Hi @CodingCat - This is a great & handy feature, but what I meant was that
we should NOT have custom code that tracks broadcast blocks. We can have
special UIs for reporting broadcast blocks for convenience, but the underlying
reporting mechanism should be the same across all blocks. BlockManager and the
associated code are complicated enough (pretty terribly designed by us
already), and we should not further complicate it by adding custom code for x,
y, and z. We should make this reporting general enough (or use existing general
reporting code path) so we can easily report other blocks in the future.
