If you read it carefully: "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from"

This means blocking will block by username and not IP specifically, because there is no way to determine "any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from" based on only the IP. I was talking about a different option that is no longer available. If you go to Help:Blocking, there is an image. If you examine the image closely, you will see that there are 4 check boxes instead of 3. The 4th item says "Prevent logged-in users from editing from this IP address". I suppose this option could be limited to certain usergroups above admins but I don't see any dedicated permission for it in Special:ListGroupRights.
