Public bug reported:

The google apps plugin requires a significant amount of upkeep. Google
regularly change the urls they display to their users, and these urls
are the ones which get put into the blocks; the users cannot be expected
to know better.

Options we have include:
- move to the safeiframe method
- use a syndicated filter list
- enable the filter list to be configurable
- find an external api which can be updated without requiring us to trigger a new point version

We need a better way to do this from 1.6 on.
