I'd assume there are both people that are in favor and people that are
against this type of changes. While I do not want to cause undue issues
with renaming, especially for cases where the impact would be outside
the hostap.git internal items, I do support many of the changes where
the proposed new term/language is clear.

This particular example of white/blacklisting is something that has
already been renamed in cases that were fully internal to hostap.git and
a temporary backwards compatibility alias was left for cases that had an
impact to external users in configuration items. It seems reasonable to
go through the main remaining item with such terminology, i.e., this
qca-vendor.h file.
