That really should be done imo, as there's bound to be plenty of blocks laying
around that aren't hidden and really should be, as knowledge of this issue
is/was not widespread.

I have sent an email to all the oversight and steward lists informing them of
this issue and advising them to reblock users to fix this. I have no idea how
many blocks are affected nor how to go about listing them to send them to the
various OS'ers for fixing (especially including the revdel'ed ones). I've also
sent an email to those oversighters with public email addresses, but that's a
limited number.

Also, it's clear that the patch posted does way more harm than good, disabling
seeing block reasons on CA for everybody no matter if the block is oversighted
or not, as I understand it. (the blocks are apparently also leaked thru the
BlockList as vvv points out above, as well as API or TS databases, and god
knows what else :) ). 

Seems it needs a comprehensive solution as VVV said above.
