I fully understand the consequences of the discussion we are having here. Sorry, but it is not nice to assume things about any PHP member. I didn't "throw a ball in the air at random", and I'm not scared by the negative responses themselves, I'm just surprised in a negative way.

I am sorry but I don't think you fully understand the implications it may have. I get it, there is no easy answer but while the change may be simple and elegant to rename a few places you may find problematic, you have to understand the consequence of the users it has and what statement it means the PHP project as a whole is sending. If we openly change these names without further, we also declare open season for changing anything anyone may find offensive in whatever way that may be in the language. It sends a strong signal to our users that reliable backwards compatibility policies we have inplace, which our users enjoy, may no longer be as reliable. This puts a greater burden on upgrading from one PHP version to another, if your time is just spent on search, replace and test for things like these. I mean personally I would much rather solve interesting problems and I do not find censoring words like blacklist into blocklist to be an interesting problem to solve, because I do not see it as a problem in the first place (either in my professional world, personally or as a PHP Core Developer). Right now you threw the ball in the air without looking and you seem amazed where it landed. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net
