This commit recommends the patches to replace 'blacklist' and 'whitelist' with the 'blocklist' and 'allowlist', because the new suggestions are incontrovertible, doesn't make people hurt, and more self-explanatory.
Sorry, but no, it's definitely not.

Wut? allowlist I am seeing for the 1st time.
Some purists, linguists, and politicians are true fellows at times, or at least they think so. This comes in waves and even if they try hard, people won't adopt their nonsense. Like we, Czechs, still call piano by German Klavier, and not břinkoklapka, suggested in 19th century (among many others) by the horny extremists.
Shall we stop using black, white, blue, and other colors only because they relate to skin color of avatars now? I doubt that.
thanks,
