However, if I understand correctly, you're effectively broadening the scope of
the autoblock, so it seems reasonable to consider a different cookie duration
than $wgAutoblockExpiry.

If someone vandalizes from a shared computer that occasionally changes external
IP, before the block would only be tied to the shared IP (unless someone tried
to log in).  Now, it is broader, since it is tied to *both* the shared browser
and the shared IP.
