Inclusive language
This is an attempt to collate Inclusive Language for OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project in regards to code.
If a BB variable has a local assginment, the rename should be transitive. Example: BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST is changes to BB_HASHBASE_ALLOWLIST, then self.basewhitelist would become self.baseallowlist
Recommended replacements for 'blacklist/whitelist' are:
| blacklist | whiltelist |
|---|---|
| denylist | allowlist |
| blocklist | passlist |
| excludelist | includelist |
Exceptions for introducing new usage is limited upstream sources outside the control of The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded.
