The book says you can use either "blocked" or "disabled" -- so why don't you
use "disabled" for those who are only temporarily blocked, and use "blocked"
for those who are permanently blocked? Note, you can also create a custom
auth_user table and simply add a column to track those who are permanently
blocked.
