> As of 5.8-rc5 Linux will no longer refer to masters, slaves or blacklists. In their place coders will be expected to use alternatives such as “primary” and “secondary” relationships, or refer to “leaders” and “followers”, or even “directors” and “performers”. Blacklists are to become either “denylists” or “blocklists” and whitelists will become “allowlists” or “passlists”.
