Since there will be a higher level change to all these terms - in all 
likelihood - trying to push yet another term that does not match the 
current discussions elsewhere seems somewhat premature. The NEXT RFC 
will be to bring this in line with the 'new' industrial standard, so is 
there any point jumping the gun before the international debate has 
finished? "blocklist", "banlist", and others all have appropriate 
application but like "excludelist", they all imply a narrower usage area 
while "blacklist" is accepted generally across all applications.

What ever alternative to "blacklist" is adopted elsewhere is going to 
cause confusion and adding to that confusion with a different 
'translation' just makes the situation worse?
