I do not like the proposed change, because of greylisting. What is between a welcomelist and a blocklist?
Delaylist, perhaps (based on the greylist milter), though that does not connote "rating is ambiguous". Suspectlist, perhaps? I'm finding no good words for that concept that also begin with "G".
I would have liked it much more if the colors of a traffic light were chosen (greenlist, amberlist, redlist). That also would create posibilities like "very dark amber" (= almost red)
"welcomelist" and "blocklist" were in part chosen to avoid the need to change acronyms and module names such as "WLBLEval" ("White" -> "Welcome" and "Black" -> "Block") and thus avoid increasing the scope and impact of this change even further.
If this project was being written from scratch, "red", "amber" and "green" *would* be appropriate terminology to use for the concepts.
