This is silly. In addition to not being paper, wikipedia is not a china shop.
I'd agree with extending blocks if there were actual evidence of an evasion, but hitting edit to see if you are still blocked or to see the instructions related to being blocked is not an attempt at evasion.
If we were instead to have an infectious block, where when a user is blocked every IP they used while blocked is blocked in addition to the IP they first used while blocked... and when an IP is blocked it blocks every user that touches that IP.... At least then you could claim the system was preventing evasion... although what a mess that would make.
