Right. So perhaps alternate solutions (such as auto-expunging block logs after
several years) would be better to look at here.

Hmm, you've lost me. An additional 1-second block _is_ an annotation.

I think the whole approach being attempted here may be misguided. The issue, as
I see it, may be that Wikimedians have a strange attachment to preserving
records indefinitely, when perhaps not all records need to be kept
indefinitely. Is there a reason to not auto-prune block log entries older than,
say, five years? Probably the subject of a separate bug, but definitely worth
investigating, I think.
