It's not smart to auto deny IP's via .htaccess for members. As an example, Ripe is a huge ISP that you will have brute force attacks on but you also have lots of members using it. One wrong IP block and you could take out a small group of people.

Now, part of the Asia Pac network, if you break the IP's down you can kill out entire countries/cities/regions that you know can't process so no reason to let them be a password leak or a possible attack.
