i re-added them because i just hit them on a box that while not kept up-to-
date every week, i wouldnt consider "old".  i also dont think the "12 months" 
quote there fully encapsulates the time frame of things being in stable.  this 
box certainly was up-to-date less than 12 months ago and it apparently missed 
this blocker time frame.

personally, i'd let these blockers sit for quite some time since it is really 
no overhead and doesnt require maintenance.
