So people are being responsibly warned there. If we compile a separate list and label it "invasive" or "potentially invasive," I am afraid that it could be misused by people who are trying to ban all cultivation of non-native plants. That probably sounds paranoid, but there's an effort online to compile all reports of weediness into a single database for use by national regulatory agencies. Any report of weediness, even personal correspondence, is added to the database. It's not checked, and there's no room for subtleties like "this one is a little aggressive but you can control it easily." Once someone labels it a weed, it's a weed. I don't think we should add to that list. We're responsible growers who know how to maintain a proper collection, and I think the best approach is to document what we're learning, species by species, so our fellow growers can make well informed decisions about how to handle a particular plant in their conditions.
