GitHub abandons 'master' and 'slave' terms to avoid row
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-53050955Dropping the “master/slave” terminology aside, the article also mentions the dropping of the “blacklist/whitelist” terminology.
Wonder when will musicians move away from the “black key/white key” terminology and that would the replacements be.

Where I come from the word 'git' is an insulting term, sometimes pronounced 'get', as in the Beatles lyric '...and curse sir Walter Raleigh he was such a stupid get'
Apparently nobody cares about my feelings at all.
I was only joking

OK, so GitHub is a hub of (or for) gits.
You got a problem with that? -
It's all so dumb. Although I do admit when I'm working on a system and I refer to the slave (e.g., database replication).

The Danish database company, FrontBase, uses Replication Master and Client.
When setup in a cluster, they are simply called nodes.
I suppose the word Master could come under fire.
Whatever. None of this bothers me in the least. Let the language evolve. It's probably going to no matter what I think anyway.
