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.
