thinking about the article by Gunnar Wolf on Planet Debian
instead of "whitelist" and "blacklist" I would like to propose the terms:
"allowlist" and "rejectlist"
instead of (for example on disk drives) "master" and "slave" I like to propose
the terms:
"lead" and "lag" which are e.g. used when electrically managing two pumps
working on the same hydraulic circuit.
What do you think?
All the best

Paradox: Getting live-updates about fatalities
This is a very good choice of names. I like it especially because it is
also not speaking about good or bad, or passed and failed, which would
be a technical classification, but simply it pronounces well what it is
all about: accepted or banned, wished or not wished. So, I like much
"allowlist" and "rejectlist", for me as a not native english speaker it
becomes perfectly clear what is meant and what it is not meant to
inlcude (it is nicely not including any statement about the quality of
the items in the list).
Thanks al lot for the proposal! Marco.
