With central blocking feature this is not so necessary. A couple of
persons (stewards) may cover that. If it is possible to categorize
block (like: "open proxy", "dynamic IP" etc.), it would be possible to
make some exceptions (for open proxies at some projects). However,
there is a permission "bypass open proxy restriction", which may be
given to users from countries which filter access to Wikipedia.
