I just got this update from my malware company

“In software, when there are choices to be made, there often exist lists with items to generally allow or disallow. Like many developers, we used the once common terms whitelist and blacklist without even giving their meaning a thought. While the origin of the term blacklist seems to range back centuries and be unrelated to race, the black means bad, white means good metaphor is inappropriate and we apologise for having used it.

So last week, we went ahead and finally got rid of those racially connoted and non-self-explanatory terms and replaced them with more speaking terms like trust list and block list.

Changes will be available in the next release.”
