The terms whitelist and blacklist should be replaced with allowlist and blocklist. First whitelist and blacklist have negative/racial connotations and have no place in our code base. Second, allowlist and blocklist are much more descriptive than whitelist and blacklist.

Any pubic APIs will be deprecated and removed in our next major release.
