Curator has a configuration property logging.blacklist
There are concerns raised on usage of this non-inclusive terminology. Linux team has approved on replacing these non-inclusive terminologies. There are many other tech companies and open-source projects that have removed references to racially-charged jargon from their code for more neutral and inclusive language. Reference [https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-team-approves-new-terminology-bans-terms-like-blacklist-and-slave/]

This request is to replace the term blacklist used in one of the curator configuration with a neutral word say denylist or blocklist.

Thanks,
