Nobody has a problem understanding "blacklist" and "whitelist". These are universally understood words even outside of computing.

We are talking about the source code of and interacting with an operating system kernel. Naturally, most things here are contextual and require domain knowledge to be understood correctly. Not requiring contextual knowledge when reading the kernel sources doesn't sound like a realistic argument.
