That doesn't seem like a problem, since the list isn't visible in the user
interface. Users will not be complaining that they aren't receiving
"niggardly", "cocky", and "cumin" in CAPTCHAs.
For example,
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FConfirmEdit/master/…
protects the Christian god with two entries, while Allah is
up for ridicule. And it might even require Jews to type in
the tetragrammaton and thus effectively ban them from a
site.
I checked out the registration form for a white supremacist forum, and they
just use reCAPTCHA. No doubt they'll be developing a CAPTJCA or CAPTMCA
soon enough.
There are likely a number of strings that should be added to the default
blacklist. Patches welcome!
