It would be nice to have the following multi-level architecture:

START
Apply all rules where (site not on whitelist)
// at this point we have the result as it works currently
// e.g. whitelisted pages include ads and privacy-threats
Apply all rules where (rule or rule-list marked as important)
// now whitelisted pages include ads and NO privacy-threats
END

This would allow to whitelist some pages (e.g. because you visit them very often and they have fair ads) but at the same time block global trackers / privacy threats (e.g. Facebook Like Buttons).

For optimization, the following could be desirable, because it avoids double-processing of some rules:

START
Apply all rules where (site no on whitelist) && (rule or rule-list not marked as important)
Apply all rules where (rule or rule-list marked as important)
END

Unlikely. There such a thing as not keeping adding complexity to a software in order to not ruin it. This is where uBlock is at now.

Now I am in keep open only those issues which have a chances to be addressed, in order to prevent runaway pile of issues.
