What do you think?
What I think is that you're barking up the wrong fire-hydrant. Who knows or cares about pumps?

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).All the best Eike -- Eike Lantzsch ZP6CGE Paradox: Getting live-updates about fatalitiesThanks al lot for the proposal!
