Yes, but why? How? I'm a non-native-speaker as well, and these things might be obvious to you, but they aren't to me. Is it a "should not use it", "must not use it", "maybe" or "it's fashionable"? How bad would it be if I accidentially use it, more like a four-letter-word or more like "well, he's a foreigner, he doesn't know"?
I'm the opposite of the other person: Use the known terms until someone complains. Very few people have a problem with `blacklist` just like very few people had a problem with `master` branch.
That's the problem with flamewars. You can't really recommend in any direction without baiting the flames. You'll just have to look for previous discussions and decide for yourself.
