I'd like to start a discussion period for my RFC which proposes to change the use of "blacklist" in Opcache configuration with better self-descriptive terminology.

Since there will be a higher level change to all these terms - in all likelihood - trying to push yet another term that does not match the current discussions elsewhere seems somewhat premature. The NEXT RFC will be to bring this in line with the 'new' industrial standard, so is there any point jumping the gun before the international debate has finished? "blocklist", "banlist", and others all have appropriate application but like "excludelist", they all imply a narrower usage area while "blacklist" is accepted generally across all applications. What ever alternative to "blacklist" is adopted elsewhere is going to cause confusion and adding to that confusion with a different 'translation' just makes the situation worse? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - https://lsces.uk/wiki/Contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - https://lsces.uk Model Engineers Digital Workshop - https://medw.uk Rainbow Digital Media - https://rainbowdigitalmedia.uk
