Although IRC channels are conducive to informal discussions, there is
one shortcoming. On a mailing list, the questions and discussions are
archived and are helpful for other users to browse at a later date. On
IRC, the discussions are only available to those present at the time.

Sorry, blacklists are not implemented in TOMOYO Linux. For associated
discussion, see the thread titled "Blacklisting" in the May 2011
mailing list archive [1]. Toshiharu and Tetsuo both give a good
summary of their opinions.

Kind regards,
Jamie
