Hi, all,
Although this is a minor point, it's also easy to address:

Meanwhile, the discussion about whether or not to call this
"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".
