b. "Allow all applications to rotate except for the following" (blacklist).

3. The applet should present a list of applications with add/remove options for the list where users can control what applications are in the list (possibly similar to AppMeFo).

Thanks Danny, that sounds like a good idea. It would be good if the user could quickly access a way to change the setting on the current (topmost) app. Maybe MAG's system area widget could store a setting per-app (assuming there's a way to find out what the topmost app is), which would modify the lists you mention. There could still be a control panel (i.e. Settings app) applet to allow an overview and editing of the different lists.
