Correct.  And whatever list you use, for whatever purpose, at the time you
start using it also set up a process to update it or age old entries. Don't
wait until later.

Those lists will be there long after you forget about it, and maybe even
longer than you; and it will save you or your successor a lot of
troubleshooting headaches.

.. and to sanity check the fallout of fat fingers, bitrot or whatever
(like where you set out to block a /24 but end up blocking a /2
instead)
