One starts to wonder, at what point might it be actually feasible to do it the other way around, by whitelisting IP ranges. I could see this happening as a community effort, similar to adblocker list curation etc.

Same people who care about “master” and “main” for hit branches.

Master branch comes from Latin for expert, authority. master record also comes from that meaning.

Blacklist and whitelist come from black=bad and white=good which if you are black or have empathy is a red flag
