Description

I don't think that the Device blacklist functionality is used anymore.
I am not aware of clients offering this option.
Should we get rid of this concept?

Should also remove withheld code blacklisted?

Start by locating the Device blacklist functionality and the withheld-code blacklisted references in the repository, then check whether any supported clients still depend on them. Done means the obsolete concept and its references are removed safely, with affected tests or documentation updated as needed.
