I don't think exclusion behavior has changed.
I mean the list published in theymos' post shows Og and zazarb, both of which I think are excluded.
Correct. The thing that I have requested has not received a response so the behavior remains the same.
I'm honored to be DT1 too! I'll re-check my trust list again.
