We did not gain any type of dynamic module loading feature until Emacs
25.

"Blacklist" and "whitelist" appear in the Emacs source tree a total of
432 times, while "allowlist" and "blocklist" appear a total of 259 times
exclusively in the context of mh-e.

So it seems to be terminology specific to mh-e, with no reason to
warrant its adoption throughout Emacs.
