    I don’t think I’ve ever seen the word “allowlisted”. Did someone forget “whitelisted” is a thing, or is that term finally cancelled?

        Blocklist and allowlist are much more intuitive, so if we ignore all the cultural baggage, these changes are rather sensical.

          Cultural baggage? Neither term has any roots in racism, blacklist came from a play and whitelist came about as the opposite of blacklist
