Add to that list the underlying XFF blocking bug.

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.

I rather think that devs' time would be best spent
ensuring that our tools
against Tor users and open proxies are effective and reliable. Huge amounts
of volunteers' time are spent combating abuse of them, with inadequate

As for legitimate users, probably the most useful thing to do would be
ensuring that the TorBlock extension shows an understandable error message
and sends people to a translatable page with instructions valid for all
language editions of our projects with current poliecies (most projects
will have none).
