Hi,
there could be other reasons to block subscriptions. Maybe the operator of
the service decides that Alice and Bob are on different realms, and are thus
not allowed to subscribe each others status. Explicitly blocking these
requests, eventually with a reason would be the right way to do this.

Why not terminate the subscription if Bob removes Alice from the allowed
buddies?
Then Alice will SUBSCRIBE again and receives status=pending.
But then Alice will know (or can know) that you have rejected her!
Imagine you want to "captivate" Carol but don't want Alice to know that
you
are connected. You don't want to reject Alice, but just set "invisible"
for
her (you don't want to reject Alice because if you don't captivate Carol
you
would like to try with Alice later). :)
