For time being. Given how quickly things move now, it's not going to last.

Once the list gets leaked, it would be nice to send a lot of random 
spam to german email addresses with remote images (scaled down to one 
red pixel) to said banned servers embedded. That's going to generate 
a lot of chaff traffic in the logs, and, hopefully, a lot of door knocks 
in the wee hours, and plenty of legal action on behalf of harassed
innocents.
