Whaaaat? I thought so many lives were improved by making devteams replace all usages of "black/whitelist" with "block/allowlist".

</sarcasm>

Well, except for the lives of the users, on-call engineers, 1st and 2nd level tech support, the product owners, and everyone else who had to deal with sudden, unexpected, hard to track bugs resulting from such BS changes.

Oh, ofc I apologise for my use of the word "list", which may be historically charged, and also non-inclusive to people who prefer unordered data.
