It would be very useful to have a table in a md file listing what each rule / group of rules will break in iOS / maxOS, with details of what is not working so that each user can choose between privacy and usability.
There could also be various information on the role of each connexion.
Anyone can test the rules, so there would just need PR to update the rows.
For instance (not for real, that's an example) :
Domain
Role
Concerned applications
Broken
*.itunes-apple.com.example.net
Retrieves albums' cover
iTunes
Albums' covers won't show
*.randomstuff.net
Untested
Untested
Untested
*.app-store.something.com
?
App Store, iTunes, Podcast
Display a blank screen, installed apps won't update
iTunes
Display a blank screen, play random music will play at 2:00 AM
Podcast
Display a blank screen
Otherwise we could also just have 3 levels of inconvenience (2 = app does not work, 1 = some features are broken, 0 = everything works but privacy-killing connexions are blocked) which could be easier to read :
Domain
Application
Level
*.itunes-apple.com.example.net
iTunes
1
App Store
0
*.randomstuff.net
?
?
*.app-store.something-1.com
App Store
1
*.app-store.something-2.com
App Store
2
I guess this file could be updated everytime a new line is added to the domains list.

The main reason I haven't done this is that determining which features are broken by blocking certain domains is very tedious. It's also subject to software updates to Apple of course, so it requires constant maintenance.
I think I said somewhere in the README that the path of least resistance is just disabling the blacklist when you need to do something that requires Apple servers. Not ideal, but that's privacy in the 21st century 😄
