This release adds a configurable blocklist allowing B nodes to include or exclude specific Orchestrator addresses according to their requirements. For example, Broadcasters using only VOD may prioritize price over performance; Broadcasters who run their own Os may choose to exclude all addresses but their own.
The blocklist is a first step towards an open marketplace for selection configuration, and we expect all sorts of configurations to become available for different use cases.
