I thought "whitelist" got cancelled for being racist? I distinctly remember being forced to rename everything to "IP Allowlist" and having to rename all my branches to "main" from "master". Jenkins is 3rd party software, so it still has slaves... π
It did, and I was also doing that in some of our software in a previous job. Other terms we had to stop using were black sheep, white washing, and even gorilla.

What if I actually have a black sheep?
Doubtful it would be a pipeline exception in Jenkins
How much have you been drinking today, my friend?
Yes?
I know you wonβt see this comment, but Iβll still respond anyways.
Itβs not the most inclusive language. I donβt think anyone forced you at gunpoint to rename that stuff though?
There is no such thing as being cancelled. Do you think the cancelled police show up at usa today to shut them down for using whitelist?
It's actually the Google corporate police

I don't see anything about companies getting canceled, shut down, or otherwise
