Re: Diversity and offensive terminology in RFCs

A lot of this problematic terminology is metaphorical in some way. If you
strive to use descriptive terms, rather than metaphorical terms, then you
should end up with language that is more straightforward and clear.

For example, block list / allow list.

Primary / replica. Source / sink. Upstream / downstream.

Active interception / passive snooping.
