I feel the use of master/slave to talk about technological concepts took power away from the original conotations of the words and by not using them its actualy making their effect more negative but what would i know.

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.
