Forgot one last point:

4) There doesn’t seem to be a way to programmatically enable/disable a previously-enabled content blocker without having to go through the compiler again when re-enabling it. I’ve filed a bug report at bugreport.apple.com <http://bugreport.apple.com/> (#22270848) with an example of use case.

I've filed a bug report at bugreport.apple.com: #22268224. Are there any plans to add this feature before the release of iOS 9.0 and OS X 10.11?
