Problem/Motivation
Field Validation uses the term "blacklist" to describe validation that blocks certain words. As documented by Everyday words and phrases that have racist connotations by Scottie Andrew and Harmeet Kaur, CNN, the term "blacklist" potentially has racist connotations (the idea that black = bad), and has been or is being replaced in the tech industry with "block list" which is also more accurate.
Webchick commented on an issue to replace master/slave with primary/replica:
This change is consistent with other similar English clean-ups we've done in the code base, e.g. to remove instances of "him/his" in favour of non-gender-specific pronouns. It's inline with our community values of inclusivity. I see no reason not to proceed here ("primary/secondary" has precedent, so let's go with that), especially given we have at least two core committers (myself and catch) in favour.
I believe replacing "blacklist" with "block list" is consistent with this.
Steps to reproduce
Proposed resolution
Replace the use of blacklist, which will require an update hook to replace the configuration keys
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes
Data model changes
