The ideal solution to bug 550 is:

- Editors can be dettached from/re-attached to the IP address they are
using; when attached, they are hit by IP blocks, and when they are
dettached, they are not; this is configurable per-block (eg. "Re-attach
this user?" (if dettached), "Dettach this user?" (if attached),
"Re-attach all users?" (if blocking an IP), "Dettach all users?" (if
blocking an IP), etc.

- Blocking on a per-page (or even per-namespace) basis
