Not being able to edit when using a is irritating for me, and likely a real barrier for others.

Where do I put my vote to drop it, at least for confirmed editors?

@ainali thanks! But I might change my IP with my VPN automatically or out of necessity.

Do you know what stops confirmed users, logged in, from being allowed to edit?

@douginamug This is exempting your *user* from *all* IP blocks. So it doesn't matter if it changes.

@ainali ohh! That'll teach me to reply before reading. Thanks!

@douginamug And to answer your question, I don't know.
If I guessed, but it is really just a guess, it's because it is almost trivial to get an account to confirmed user status and thus would make it too easy to avoid blocks from the usually malicious actors that the block is aimed to stop.
