An initiative now a Linux Foundation directed fund coordinates a consensus process that surveys member companies, drafts recommendations from a template, and publishes them via pull requests into a public word list and a language evaluation framework. It reports over 300 contributors, produces three severity tiers of replacements, and targets terms like “bulletproof” and “abort,” offers implementation guidance for code and docs, pursues standards-body outreach, and ships training (LFC 103).
