Add to that list the underlying XFF blocking bug. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23343
Back on topic, is it necessary for good users seeking IP block exemption to be checkusered? I doubt it. IP block exemption is rarely given because it allows someone to keep editing on their main account when a sock is blocked. Tor exemption should be separate from IP block exemption.
