Like... a burrow with a blacklist?

Yeah, preety much. It'll be really helpful, but I would rather have a large chunk of burrow imporvements with the ability to force dwaves in AND exclude dwarves out, and more.

Add one or both of these option to burrows:

Whitelist (all dwarves forbidden by default, add dwarves manually to allow them; migrants will be automatically forbidden; new family members (only spouses and children) of dwarves already allowed will also be whitelisted, but can be removed later)

Blacklist (all dwarves allowed by default, add dwarves manually to forbid them)

In addition to:

Normal (define a burrow that works the same way it does now)

Hells yes, I'd love to be able to paint a simple "stay-the-feck-out" burrow at the entrance of my base rather than tediously paint the entire interior with a "emergency stay inside" burrow (or a quicky painted inside burrow + have all my jobs cancelled)

The way I would like burrows to work:

Each burrow has one of four functions:

Labour inclusion: If a dwarf is on the list for any labour inclusion burrow, he may not take a job with an endpoint that does not lie within a labour inclusion burrow for which he is on the list. Useful for keeping the master mason away from construction sites when he should be making furniture.

Labour exclusion: If a dwarf is not on the list for a labour exclusion burrow, he may not take a job with an endpoint that lies within that burrow. Useful for stopping miners from harvesting.

Security inclusion: If a dwarf is on the list for any security inclusion burrow, he may not travel through an area that does not lie within a security inclusion burrow for which he is on the list. Useful for designating the entire interior of a fortress plus outside areas considered safe.

Security exclusion: If a dwarf is not on the list for a security exclusion burrow, he may not travel through an area that lies within that burrow. Useful for desginating areas where your about to breach water or magma or cause a cave in.

How about just a burrow with a toggle.
Only allow those on list.
Only forbid those on list.
