Hello, In accordance with the growing trend (references below) toward inclusive language in code, I'd like to request that portions of the hostap codebase be refactored to migrate to more inclusive terminology. For example, the term "blacklist" is used multiple times in the wpa_supplicant codebase, and I'd suggest changing to more inclusive terms like "denylist" or "ignorelist". Would the hostap maintainers (Jouni) be receptive to CLs which implement such changes? These changes would involve changing some code in place, for instance the wpa_blacklist from https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/tree/wpa_supplicant/blacklist.h could simply be renamed to wpa_ignorelist (which in my opinion is more descriptive of the list's purpose anyway). Some external facing bits such as wpa_cli commands "blacklist" and "blacklist clear" and the network configuration field "bssid_blacklist" would need to be deprecated and replaced. kernel style guide change: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a5f526ecb075a08c4a082355020166c7fe13ae27 Google moves to more inclusive language: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/6/twitter-google-want-eliminate-blacklist-and-black-/ Apple moves to more inclusive language: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-banishes-blacklist-and-master-branch-in-push-for-inclusive-language/ _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
