--- Comment #31 from Ajraddatz <[email protected]> ---
The only person who has said this wouldn't be used unless integrated with
existing workflows doesn't currently serve in a role which would make use of
this. As I said in a post above, there would be no benefit to integrating it
with CU - we'd be back to reactive, rather than proactive action since we'd
only be able to find the IP if they successfully create an account. Integrating
it with CU in addition to providing the IP would be beneficial.

To make perfectly clear the rationale for this: It gives us a unique
opportunity to take proactive action while allowing us to confirm that we
aren't generating ridiculous false positives using the TBL. It turns the TBL
from an unusable extension to something which we can use alongside the
abusefilter and spamblacklist to actively prevent abuse. With this, we could
stop abuse before it has even happened - especially important when dealing with
attack names. Is that a sufficiently-convincing rationale?
