This will actually be a useful feature for me. I consistently get e-mails from a procurement business somewhere half-way across the world that somehow thinks that my gmail address is that of one of their employees. I routinely get CC'd on e-mails containing invoices, BOMs, customer inquiries etc. I've tried reporting as spam, phishing, and even replying to all on message that includes customers of the business to say "I'm not who you think I am and you probably don't want strangers seeing these e-mails", all to no avail and these messages just keep ending up in my inbox. They're not always from the same person (it's a mid-sized company with varied customers).

Now I can just block them. I guess I could have used filters to do that, but this seems more convenient.

It's definitely more convenient. That's the whole point of the feature. If anyone says this feature isn't a big deal because you can just make a filter, you're wrong. This isn't a technical feature, it's a UX feature. And having good UX makes a technical feature worth usable.

That's a pretty good argument that this is a deal but I remain unconvinced it qualifies as "big"
