No, it is /of course/ used for exceptions to blacklisting on the local
blacklist! This is often done for domains which have been spammed, but the main
page (domain.com/index.html or something) is needed as a link on the article
about the site/organization/whatever.

It doesn't allow that currently, but I just don't think it's useful. I can't
think of a case where it's needed.
