technical terms overhaul
On the danger of starting a flame war ...
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
