Hi Klavs,

My take is that the default blocking was compiled back in the relatively 'innocent' days of the web, when "metrics" would always have implied something sinister - before the advent of the concept of web applications and such. You're of course free to modify your own configuration to remove that rule from the default or match-all actions files or, better, suggest a modified unblocker rule that allows results from the tool you use to be added into the default files.

Cheers,

Ian
