Not only that, but the only way the whitelist can work as a whitelist is if LL not only tests the viewers on the list, but compiles the list themselves. That means seeking out TPVs and accepting recommendations from users, not just sitting around waiting for the makers to send them in.
In my opinion, neither option will work all that well. LL doesn't have the staff necessary to compile and maintain either type of list, and the current TPV directory is nothing more than a misleading half-effort as a result. LL is trying, but they just don't have the manpower. Even a wiki-style page would be better.
