Well, I found a review here:

The reviewer seems to feel that it's a good thing, but keeping it  
clean might be difficult (although you can apparently extract the  
innards and throw them in the dishmasher). My first thought was  
whether the fibers would eventually start to fray and become severed,  
and how effective the block would be once it starts to leak/shed.
