We've seen several people reporting this, that KMS makes it work and UMS
doesn't.

This seems quite perplexing to me.  AFAIK with UMS turned on, things
should work as they did in... Jaunty?  Whenever we last had UMS on by
default.

I think we should doublecheck that this blacklist did in fact fix
reported issues for people as intended.
