+1.  I agree, this is the best direction for making tracemode "more  
reasonable" while still making sure that ports are at least *aware*  
of, and willing to essentially document in a formalized way, their  
more unusual dependencies through some regexp'y set of whitelist/ 
greylist entries (I'm just designing off the top of my head now here,  
but it also seems like whether the action is "allow", "warn", or  
"other" should simply be some expression passed as an argument to the  
function which registers whitelist entries).
