In recent years there’s been a shift from “white/black list” to “allow/block list” in an effort to avoid the stereotypes associated with those terms. I wouldn’t say it’s the new norm yet, but it’s slowly becoming more popular.
Okay, I have to ask: outside of training, did you ever say NOtice To AirMen? I haven’t. It’s always NOTAM for me. They were nice enough to keep the acronym the same.

Ah like the master/slave becoming server/client?
I still don’t like allow list though. Block list seems fine. Maybe access list?
Similar to that, yeah, although I think the master/slave thing started earlier. (It’s a bit more blatant, tbf.)
I agree that allowlist doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as nicely, but as long as it makes it obvious what the word means, I’ll go with it.
I hate that.
With flying they changed NOTAM from notices to airmen to notices to air missions or something.
Calm tf down. Will they change Human to hupersons next? Man-made to huperson-made? GTFO here.
If something so trivial upsets you so deeply in an attempt to make others feel more included, maybe you should look into yourself.
You should probably take your advice and calm down.
Talking with the people involved, at least in my experience, it is an unnecessary adjustment. Nobody “affected” gave a hoot.

I suppose that’s a fair point.
