Without SUL, could it still be implemented for anon accounts?
We need a central database, which SUL provides. It /could/ be implemented without SUL, but creating a separate central database seems a little silly.
I don't see that SUL has any blocking code. The global blocking can be implemented on the same database (!= table) without needing to wait for SUL, keeping open compatibility for blocking 'global users'. Some users should be blocked wikiwide, (Wikipedia:Username, sock puppets to evade blocks, Willy on wheels...) but, who should be able to do it? I suppose stewards will need to, but they won't be aware of many cases. Maybe do some global block some if blocked on X different projects? What to do when some users are sysops on many projects?
