Not to mention more descriptive. If you hear the term "allowlist" or "denylist" it is immediately obvious and self-explanatory, with no prior context needed.

Leaving aside any other reasons, they're just better names.


And while you're at it, start speaking Esperanto, use the metric system, and switch to a Dvorak keyboard.


No yes no. As for the post you replied to, allow/deny are indeed the more descriptive terms for lists that allow/deny access. Descriptive terms are good and useful.


Is Dvorak optimized for Esperanto?


Blacklist and whitelist are not antiquated. This is indeed woke, and not useful.
