    unfair treatment.

    We’re talking about slavery here.

    sick of having to relabel

    It’s not that hard…to be accommodating.

    divorced from the social issues

    from your point of view

    the code doesn’t care

    You’re right. Call it a controller and agent. I know naming is hard, but we’re smart enough to apply our lexicon.

    never use the words master or slave ever again? What’s next??

    Ah, the slippery slope fallacy.

    We still use master over main

    The default for repositories on GitHub has been main. You would have had to put in effort to change it to something else. You’re a stick in the mud.
