I think the idea is that for us to _distribute_ a version of Emacs that
allows to dynamically load proprietary modules is wrong and sets a bad
example for the GNU project.

If so, it is certainly a standard I don't know about.  In nearly three
decades, I've heard many variants of "list", but never "allowlist" or
"blocklist".  Can we agree to use the terminology that everyone knows
about in Emacs, to keep the situation simple?
