How do you feel about the elimination of the terms 'blacklist' and 'slave' from the Linux kernel?

Message!

I strongly support this change - racially charged language should not be used in the code and documentation of the kernel and other open-source projects.
I'm indifferent - this small change will not affect broader issues of racial insensitivity and white privilege.
I'm opposed to this change - there is no need to change language that has been used for years. It doesn't make sense for people to take offense to terminology used in community projects.
