Strange that I don't seem to find it in his post anywhere him suggesting anyone reading this thread to judge by themselves and do "possible" changes.
So, is he forcing you to do so ? You can use your own due intelligence for excluding and including users here and take it as a suggestion from him ( Check who is childish ). Even explaing the process to include/exclude triggers you to think it as an straight guide to change trust list, which could be due to the baised agenda nothing more.
