You're probably right about that. It is irritating though that we've added more syllables.

I'm just grumpy because I don't like random change for no reason. I think I'm probably in the 99th percentile for how irritated I get when software or a website changes its layout. I also haven't seen any trustworthy anecdotes of people who find the term blacklist/whitelist offensive to them, but I don't really go looking either. Perhaps I should.
