The proposed modification is not about correcting a typo but rather about adopting more contemporary, neutral terminology. Traditionally, terms like "blacklis"' were widely used but may now seem outdated due to their potential racial connotations. As an alternative based on current technology trend -- though not yet broadly adopted -- we suggest using:

  • allow list
  • deny list

These terms are commonly used in security settings to specify permissions, reflecting a more inclusive approach to terminology in tech communications.

Replace "blocklist" and "blacklist" with "denylist"
