"whitelisting" is pointless. The term is already well-established.

That's true, but equally true that the terms for disk drives used to use terms "master" and "slave" - equally antiquated and potentially racially charged terms. FWIW, the Los Angeles County banned the terms in 2003 when used for various purposes - including technology, preferring "primary" and "secondary", in specific. The terms don't even appear in the ATA spec after version 1.

For the terms in this doc, alternatives that do not require explanation (and aren't potentially racially charged) include "permit list" and "deny list".
