Per https://twitter.com/kthomas901/status/656157231365423104 it seems like we would do folks a favor if we avoided these terms in favor of safelist/blocklist suggested in http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/51088/alternative-term-to-blacklist-and-whitelist.

I'd prefer "allowed list" over "safe list".

I prefer safelist since it can be reasonably used as a single-word term.

EDIT: Nvm, vakila's got a PR on it already.
