It appreciate the idea to make language more precise where possible.

However, terms like motherboard and whitelisting are just a few in the universe of complicated (yet gender neutral) terms like GPU, CPU, DDR, parity, firewall, IP6, etc.

Of course, that is not a reason to not improve the language where one can, but I don't know if it will help that much in CS.

In reality these types of changes often just make learning more difficult, because now you have to learn that it's called both "motherboard" and "mainboard". At least for a generation or two.
