Locate Secure CA use of problematic terms

    • Closed Issue created by Nicole Schwartz @NicoleSchwartz

    Problem to solve

    Locate Secure CA use of "Blacklist" and "Whitelist" to "allowlist" and "blocklist" (except LC where we're doing denylist)

    Locate Secure CA use of "Master" and "Slave"

    these are problematic terms and should not be used

    Proposal

    Identify & Document

    Let's identify instances of problematic terms and document them (here)

    NB: there is already one issue for CS: #220262 (closed)

    Further details

    Next Steps (out of the scope of this issue)

    Quick Fix

    For any that are documentation/ui only let's quickly replace/update user facing references where possible (docs, UI) and update appropriate tests if applicable

    GitLab Backlog

    For Backend references let's make backlog issues and ask for community contribution/help to update

    Dependencies

    Where referencing third parties feel free to use "blacklist (as per VENDOR terms, we prefer blocklist)" etc and make a backlog item

    For Items/terms inherited from dependencies (like clair, redis) let's make a backlog item acknowledging we have requested the upstream project to change and check on it occasionally. @NicoleSchwartz will make these if you feel uncomfortable dong so.

    Availability & Testing

    If updates are made check the tests as you may need to update them!
