I've run into exactly the same issue, but I would suggest a different
approach than introducing more and more ACL (or router or transport)
conditions:

I was wondering that there is no generic expansion condition to test
if a string is part of a list.

Expansion conditions would be much more powerful with this extension
and I guess it is not too much work to implement it.
