These are system libraries, all of which are either free or have free
replacements. I don't think we allow features that depend on
proprietary libraries that have no free replacement. And to distribute
a binary of Emacs that links against a non-free non-system library would
be illegal.

It certainly hasn't: this was the first time I ever came across the term
"allowlist" being used, and it was in the form of an email, not code.
Even if the world has "moved on" (which is hardly a given), software
(Emacs even more so) has historically used the "old" terms, which there
is no need to change. So as I said, can we please keep the situation
simple by using the terminology which we have always used, which is to
say, "blacklist" and "whitelist".
