Bug ID: 64502
Summary: Rename 'blacklisted-ips' keyword in mod_authz_core
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mod_authn_core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The cultural significant of blacklists is based in racial descrimination. There
are no reasons to use these over their alternatives
As per https://lethargy.org/~jesus/writes/a-guide-to-nomenclature-selection/
and numerous other great resources, I request that we rename the
'blacklisted-ips' keyword to 'rejected-ips' or 'denied-ips'.
While this may seem merely symbolic to some, this kind of symbolic gesture
shows that we care about our community members more than we care about
particular historical keywords in our code.
Recommend that we add 'denied-ips' as an alias, and deprecate
'blacklisted-ips', and update the documentation accordingly, then remove the
deprecated keyword in a future release.
Thanks.
