I would think that the basis for reconsidering an indefinite ban as the 
individual having suitably rehabilitated themselves in the eyes 
community. A ban should not be punishment for past misdeeds, rather a 
preclusion from future ones.

The idea of a general amnesty at key inflection points is not a bad one. 
But revolutionaries can decide on their own whether throwing open the 
doors of the bastille is a good idea or not.
