It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    No it doesn’t sound bad, words don’t need to be thrown away forever just because they’ve been used to describe unfair treatment. I’m so sick of having to relabel so many things that are so far divorced from the social issues they are used to describe. It’s so pointless and has no impact, the code doesn’t care which is master and which is the slave for they are simply descriptive labels.

    Are we supposed to never use the words master or slave ever again?? What’s next?

    My dev friends, no matter their race, all say the exact same thing. We still use master over main, come at us I guess.
