No, this is not related to a blacklist mechanism discussed in bug 447417.
A blacklist system is on a per event basis whereas this bugreport asks for a more global solution to manage dataprovider in general. This is esp. needed when we have a gio dataprovider.

Bug description:
It should be possible to
 * enable/disable some dataprovider (esp. useful for testing while developing and debugging)
 * define which dataprovider sends events for which application (right now it is possible to have multiple DP per application, eg. are shipping a firefox logger and on the other hand there is an external FF extension which sends events. This can end in a race between both logger, and logging the same data twice is also not useful)

The preferences should be stored in a user readable format (ini like text file) but also be accessible over DBus.
Maybe this fits into a more general Configuration Interface I started some time ago.
