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.
