First, thank you for consdering changes in language. It's coming at a good 
time.

To replace master, what about "main"? If not, "orchestrator" or "director"?

I'd like to pile on with the other folks that AllowList and DenyList are 
descriptive and appropriate. I don't like "BlockList" because it isn't as 
related to Allow as Deny is. There's also plenty of precedent in other 
projects - see the Apache web server's routine use of Allow and Deny.

Blocklist is also too similar to Blacklist both in writing and audibly.
