In keeping with the progress in the rest of the IT/Software space (while this is relatively low priority) the words Whitelist and Blacklist should be replaced with (despite origin) the less offensive and more descriptive Allowlist and Denylist.

how's that progress? changing terminology used for dacedes, because there's 'black' and 'white' in sed terminology? I don't know a single person working in IT industry being offended by these two words and i know a lot of people and a lot of them are people of color.
