Let's stop using the slavery analogy (master/slave). Any ideas?

3 pointsby inievesover 6 years ago
This was prompted by studying some of the differences between MySQL and MariaDB... where the use of the terms of &quot;master&quot; and &quot;slave&quot; is making me want to puke.<p>I would propose leader&#x2F;follower or even guru&#x2F;disciple...<p>Seriously... any other thoughts&#x2F;ideas?<p>I will happily email the results of this feedback to both organizations.

Why not just look at all the other places that have already brought this up and adopt one of those?

Leaders often walk behind their “followers”. Disciples could teach a thing or two to gutus. We’re all equal, so write software accordingly! You make me puke trying to write software with an oppressive structure while trying to hude it under leniant terms !
