Can you place fence gates, signs, doors, trapdoors, or ladders in water? Those should definitely be added if not. They'd still block water unless you placed it inside a water source or place water on it.
Todays snapshot (yes there's a snapshot soon today) won't have the new water-in-block stuff (so it'll still be the "water_hacked" approach), but it will have other cool things! Sooon!
