EventAdmin Blacklist

[Adam Wilson]

Hi all,

We're experiencing a blacklist of a crucial service on a remote system and
have not been able to replicate it locally.

Once a service has been blacklisted, what can we do about it?  From the
EventAdmin code, it emits a log message and releases the service. There
doesn't appear to be any way to detect the blacklisting and mitigate it.
Ideally, it seems like a BLACKLIST event should be emitted so that you can
set up handlers to manage these situations---but, obviously, that could get
mess..

We're also having a hard time creating a circumstance that creates a
blacklisted service to inspect what happens.  Is there an easier way to
simulate blacklisting?

Below is the code that I tried to get something blacklisted, but it did not
work.

Thanks!
Adam
