I don't like that things can be tweaked manually behind the scenes. In this case, it seems to be being done for legitimate reasons, but just the fact that it can happen bothers me. It means it could be (and will be) used inappropriately before long.

This time, things don't really happen behind the scenes. The unblacklisting of those accounts has been announced, it will probably take weeks for the hardfork to go live, and if you don't want to support that, vote witnesses that represent your opinion.
