Then you should probably unblock them. I had unblocked all the indefinitely-blocked on en after it was switched to banning them only for 7 days. I would have thought the other Wikipedias would do the same.
Who, me? I'm not a sysop on de:. And to expect people on all those Wikipedias to conclude that they should do unblocking because a mailing list message has said the way of blocking is going to be changed, is rather naive. There's enough Wikipedias where the admins don't even know what Proxy blocker is, let alone that its workings have changed, let alone that the change of working forces them to take action.

No, the sysops in general.

Well, obviously someone should tell them about it then. Is it so hard for at least one of them to read either the mailing list or at least something like [[Wikipedia:Goings-on]] and/or [[meta:Goings-on]]? If none of them do that, then that's really their own problem, but then again, it probably also means their Wikipedia is so small that the permanently-blocked IPs probably don't make much difference anyway.
