Why is bblck.me listed as a badware site by uBlock Origin (uBO)?

Paul, do you or anyone else know why the uBlock Origin project has bblck.me
listed as a "badware" site?
See:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/badware.txt
The responsible filter is:
||bblck.me^$all
This filter blocks all hosts on the bblck.me
domain. The "badware risks" filter list is included and enabled by default with uBO.
I found this PR: uBlockOrigin/uAssets#10235, which links to this issue: gorhill/uBlock#2935. I also found this issue: gorhill/uBlock#2864.
I believe those PRs are referring to incorporating the BarbBlock blocklist into other lists, rather than blocklisting the list itself. However, I no longer control the bblck.me domain, so it's correct. Use the github pages URLs for the blocklist instead.

Thanks Paul. In that case, I think you'll definitely want to remove the link to ssl.bblck.me from https://github.com/paulgb/BarbBlock
