From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
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.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

nack. Spelling is for typos not for politics.

Agreed, I'm abusing the spell checking. I personally believe the terms will
eventually removed from the dictionary and become typos, though.
I will update checkpatch to support deprecated terms checking, and set the
'blacklist' and 'whitelist' as the deprecated terms in the next spin.

How about 'denylist', then?

Wouldn't it easy to infer the intention, though?

Well, I have no strong opinion on this, but... if some people are really being
hurt by use of some terms and we could avoid spread of the term with only
little cost, I believe it's worth to make the change.

Sorry, but no, it's definitely not.

Blocklist means a list of blocks here.

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 b?inkoklapka, 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,
