Looking at the code I see a 692 occurrences of the word "slave". Mostly variable names and ref guide docs.
The word "slave" is present in the responses as well. Any change in the request param/response payload is backward incompatible. I have no objection to changing the names in ref guide and other internal variables. Going ahead with backward incompatible changes is painful. If somebody has the appetite to take it up, it's OK If we must change, master/follower can be a good enough option. master (noun): A man in charge of an organization or group. master(adj) : having or showing very great skill or proficiency. master(verb): acquire complete knowledge or skill in (a subject, technique, or art). master (verb): gain control of; overcome. I hope nobody has a problem with the term "master" On Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 3:19 PM Ilan Ginzburg <ilans...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Would master/follower work? > > Half the rename work while still getting rid of the slavery connotation... > > > On Thu 18 Jun 2020 at 07:13, Walter Underwood <wun...@wunderwood.org> wrote: > > > > On Jun 17, 2020, at 4:00 PM, Shawn Heisey <apa...@elyograg.org> wrote: > > > > > > It has been interesting watching this discussion play out on multiple > > open source mailing lists.
