Ok. I think the BSSID blacklist would just be a separate attribute, I
see no reason to have a nesting for that.

Actually, we could make the filter and blacklisting very generic.  We
can use the same attributes for both.  The only difference would be that
the former would include anything that matches and the latter would
exclude anything that matches.

Hm, true, but does it really make sense to blacklist SSIDs when we have
a whitelist for them? Or would you want to whitelist a wildcard and then
blacklist a specific one?

I also prefer using match/not_match (couldn't find a better antonym),
because "filter" is ambiguous (let-through or leave-out?).

agree.
