Looking at that lists it'd be 16 wildcard entries vs. 895 hostnames. A significant improvement.

I don't use that list, I use Steven Black's [1] list has 1004 entries which is more complete than this list. It would be less, but more than 16. Even at that, you're right it would definitely reduce the size.

It'd be more future-proof too.
