Description

User aliases managed by the system differ from system aliases in that managed aliases are saved to config.xml. These user-facing aliases can be added by services and are meant to be managed by the system; any user modifications are lost upon the alias being regenerated. Make the GUI aware of these aliases so that they are still visible but cannot be modified by the user.

That functionality needs to be supported by the package itself (pfBlockerNG doesn't currently support it).
