Why not? Don't you effectively ban huge ranges of IP addresses, and
therefore countries, every time you restrict access to a host? Imagine
I'm going travelling, and I know I'm only going to South America, so I
want to open up my ssh daemon to more addresses. However I don't want
to permit the entire Internet to have a go at the daemon, but I'm
willing to open it up to South America to increase the risk slightly
in return for permitting myself SSH access wherever I am.
I must admit I'm a little worried that everyone is thinking that this
will be used to prevent access by certain countries for nefarious /
racist reasons when there are so many useful applications.
