> Language matters. I'd like to remove all references in Apache Airflow to
> whitelist or black list, and the Cassandra Python API has some that we can't
> easily remove.
> The recent global events have made this even more relevant, but this has been
> on my radar for a while now. Here is a well written article for why I think
> it matters

> {quote}It's fairly common to say whitelisting and blacklisting to describe
> desirable and undesirable things in cyber security.
> However, there's an issue with the terminology. It only makes sense if you
> equate white with 'good, permitted, safe' and black with 'bad, dangerous,
> forbidden'. There are some obvious problems with this. {quote}
> My exposure to is via the Python API where there is the
> cassandra.pollicies.WhiteListRoundRobinPolicy class. I propose that this be
> renamed to AllowListRoundRobinPolicy instead. I do not know if there are
> other references.
