Change blacklist to a neutral term that suggests its function without further reading.
Problem Definition
The function of blacklisted accounts was added as a fix to prevent module supply invariants from breaking during the lifetime of the chain. While the term does have popular usage in the computer science world, it is not neutral ("whitelist/blacklist") and can have negative connotations whether or not it was originally intended to. Furthermore, I find the usage vague in reference to the exact restrictions placed on a module account address.
Proposal
I don't have a replacement term in mind, but it should reference the specific characteristic that module accounts cannot be sent to. Maybe something like DisableRecvList/DenyRecvList or CannotSendToList
