You started to ask questions which are easily answered by doing some 
research (via searching the web) outside of this mailing list.

There is indeed little point in rehashing this argument which has 
occurred in a myriad of places by now.

Irrelevant.

There is nothing confusing in "allowlist" and "denylist". Those are 
plain English.

FWIW, personally I'm in no hurry to move on from "white/black" and 
"master/slave" in all my projects across the board, but it's clear by 
now that such a move must occur eventually. So arguing about undoing 
such changes that have already been made is counter-productive.
