I disagree with this statement, and I do not believe that just because
you think it is a better terminology, it should be justifying the BC
break that comes with this change. Like I expressed in the PR when it
was originally posted and the other topic currently active on
internals that it seems much like a change for the sake of change.
This is clearly a political change and something we as a project
should refrain from doing. If this RFC comes to pass, are we going to
change the PHP.net logo to declare our political allegiance to the
cause in America? Attempting to change something which has no
correlation to racial remarks but using it as an argument that it can
be is an absurd argument to me.

The pull request in the linked RFC does not seem to reflect all the
details of this RFC, the PR also changes the whitelist to allowlist,
something that is not noted in the RFC itself among other things, or
did I miss something?
