I understand the motivation to use more inclusive language, but IMO in
the absence of the word "slave", this "master" branch is more
analogous to a "master copy" of an artifact (usually recording) and
reflects the true etymology of the term, here.

If it's more convenient to make this change in September, then let's
wait until then. Changing twice doesn't really help anybody and causes
a certain amount of chaos.
