Hi Nils,

I was thinking (against the too-many-knobs trend) that maybe we should
have some sort of ban_queue_limit parameter to avoid piling up too
many bans. It would also play nice with your std.ban() initiative
where hitting the queue limit could be one of the reasons returned by
the function when it fails.

The default could be 0 for unlimited, or a fairly large number.
