Switch to more inclusive language

Open macdonst opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Could you please take some time in the next few days to make changes to some terminology in your repos and content as much as is possible:

  • Whitelist/blacklist to Allowed List and Blocked List (or Approve List/Deny List - some software uses this instead) respectively. Google and many developers are formalizing allowlist and blocklist. You might want to lobby for those terms to be used in the UI.
  • Master/Slave to master and replica (or subordinate, if that makes more sense) respectively.

If you cannot remove the term because the writing for example reflects the UI or the code, please make a note and send me an email to [email protected] so we can bring it that team’s attention. Thanks for your efforts in this matter.

@sivaschenko Can you please take a look at this file and let me know if there is a way to change the language in the source file to remove/change references from "whitelist" and "blacklist to "allowlist" and "blocklist"? This is part of a larger Adobe initiative. I don't know we can change this without breaking the functionality, and/or if we need to wait for an update from the PHPunit team.

Hi @chfabbro , that is a PHPUnit configuration, it cannot be changed until PHPUnit will introduce an alternative
