As a general rule I think it is a good idea to keep documentation for these kind of actions available to the DWG, so I would be against deleting them, and that said it isn't as if block lists are used all over the place, and while I haven't looked at the relevant code for a while, it is likely not more work than making the database query for blocks contingent on such a status flag and moderator status of the account.
