Because a steady-state signal conveys no useful information, whitelist.basic_arguments[] list items can have three values:
true - these parameters are valid and supported parameters
false - these parameters are deprecated but still supported
tracked - these parameters are valid and supported parameters tracked in an eponymous properties category
nil - these parameters are no longer supported. remove entirely
