   @dalias @overunderlay @malwarejake There's a lot of places where `(white|black|grey)list` are used. And if it's getting replaced because it's 'problematic', the problem is that it's not really problematic to people in the real world. I'm mixed and I, not anyone on the black side of my family has ever complained about the term "blacklist". They'll complain about other, obviously racial problems but not common terminology.

   So the fix that's proposed should be similar to the `master` -> `main` switch in git for default branches. E.g. simple, well thought out and ideally better in some technical measure. So `(red|green|yellow)list` is actually a pretty good replacement. But everyone should agree with that nomenclature.
