I just stumbled opon the new Bootstrap 5 alpha page and saw some words that could be improved to a more natural / tech specific wording, e.g. the allowlist and blocklist instead of whitelist and blacklist.

There are many projects that try to ban oppressive words from their code. This could be a great chance when releasing BS5

Leave it open. it's now cross-referenced from #31066 so once that's merged, it will auto-close this issue as well.

And no, there wasn't an open issue here about it ... it was an internal list of planned changes the team was discussing. So no worries...this issue here just gave me a good "hook" to just go ahead and do my PR :)
