There's already vendor-sec. I assume they follow RFPolicy already. If it's just another vendor-sec, why would you put up a new list for it?
In other words, if you allow embargoes and vendor politics, what would the new list buy that isn't already in vendor-sec.
When I saw how vendor-sec worked, I decided I will never be on an embargo list. Ever. That's not to say that such a list can't work - I just personally refuse to have anything to do with one. Whether that matters or not is obviously an open question.
