You'll see a lot of this. Establishing blocks in the local networks is
more time consuming than it's worth. Blocks are usually only in place
temporarily while other business practices are carried out; as any good
neighbor tries not to harrass fellow networks. Once decontamination
starts and users are fixed or suspended from service, blocks will
usually be removed and the world goes back to normal.
My own network has a two week deadline, although I'm gunning for being
done this week.
