I can live with that.

I still don't like blacklist being where it is. It really needs
to be moved back with the others (leaving nothing to the right
side) since it works with the checkbox on the left side, and
hence needs to be on the left side.
Otherwise I can live with it, but I'd still prefer a slightly
different order to them, maybe:
delete|delete&purge|purge deleted|hide deleted|undelete|blacklist

I think the blacklist is still an issue though.
Anyway, my $0.03 on the subject.

to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
