Subject: [PATCH] Prevent PRs with the X-Blocked label from being merged
 (#3864)

Just a small CI suggestion: X-Blocked is useful for requesting review on a change while ensuring it won't be merged until all external dependencies are accounted for, and it'd be nice to have this enforced more consistently across the org.
