I've brought up reconciling privacy lists and the blocking command in the past [1], but the discussion faltered and it never went before the council. It was brought up as part of a recent discussion again [2], and I'd like to formally propose that it be deprecated.
As an author of XEP-0016, I am in favor of deprecating privacy lists, for the following reasons:
1. Smaller, simpler extensions to solve particular problems are preferable to large, complex frameworks.
2. We defined privacy lists to address a requirement from RFC 2779 that in fact we misunderstood, so it was over-engineered from the start.
Full disclosure: I have not yet read the long thread that resulted from Sam's original message.
