Inclusive Language
First time topic was explored on mailing list. https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/topic/inclusive_language_summary/75821819
This is an attempt to collate Inclusive Language for OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project in regards to code.
For reference: https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/overview/
Game play
If a BB variable has a local assignment, the rename should be transitive. Example: BB_HASHBASE_WHITELIST is changed to BB_HASHBASE_ALLOWLIST, then self.basewhitelist would become self.baseallowlist
Add an offending name in one of the three tables below. If you have a suggested replacement, please add. If the translation is approved, that will be noted in the same row. Approval process: TBD
Recommendations
Recommended replacements for 'blacklist/whitelist' are:
| blacklist | whitelist |
|---|---|
| denylist/disallowlist | allowlist |
| blocklist | passlist |
| excludes or excludelist | includes or includelist |
Exceptions
Exceptions for introducing new usage is limited upstream sources outside the control of The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded.
