Huh? He is still blocked AFAICS:

Definition of troll:
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,
extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an
online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent
of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of
otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

I don't see any of those things. If his change was reverted with an
appropriate comment, or his account was blocked *temporarily*, he
wouldn't have had to post anything on this list.

That would make certain pages not useful:
