My point is that no such hard-refresh (about whose existence I didn't
even know) is needed when I send the control command to the tracker to
remove a big from the blocking list.

That's what I did.  The bug was "done", but refereshing the 19759 page
didn't remove it.  When I sent the control message, it was removed on
the next refresh a few minutes later.
