Many people have left because of decisions like this in the past.
I think this is just another brick in the wall. I also think that this community will end up being hurt more by these kinds of attitudes than they know.
EDIT: As far as why I want to see it? Transparency is a perfect reason. Just because you trust the devs doesn't mean I should. Nor does it mean anyone else should. If someone asked to see the blacklist of a server owner I have a hard time believing they would so frantically argue that it would be devastating, either way. But a central blacklist is a much more important list; the CBL touches everyone who hosts a server, everyone who plays on a server, and everyone who reports someone.
There's no reason for information like that to be kept so secret, and the transparency it's publication would provide is a means, not an ends. So is it's censorship. But the two respective ends will be different from what the devs may think.
