<p>I concur with this. I'm still fairly new to BIND and DNS myself.
I maintain 7 name servers (3 internal, 4 external) and master does
signify to me that this is the server in control of the zone files
for the other ones in that pool. The slaves are pretty much that
to me, they take the zone files and apply them while not having
any further control over the zone files themselves. In my external
name servers it also goes paired with authority - slave
authorities that are authoritative to the internet but slaves in
that they replicate from an internal master. This is not something
you'd see in real slavery, signifying that this is mere technical
jargon. Is it a heavy term? Yes. Should we support "black lives
matter" and condemn the completely egregious actions committed by
the police officers towards George Floyd? Absolutely, and I hope
that the former officers get convicted for not just manslaughter
but murder, and that more protests will emerge (minus the
plundering which was the case here in Brussels).</p>
<p>However, changing a name and going for censorship of technical
jargon which will only confuse newcomers who will now face
duplicate nomenclature changes NOTHING. George Floyd wouldn't have
been able to survive just because we give things a different name.
Instead we'd border closer to censorship which we had during the
wars, and still do in heavily oppressed countries like North
Korea, China etc. It's ironic that what these people are pushing
for in practice is exactly the thing they seemingly seek to
eradicate.</p>
<p>There is another relevant case where GitHub will apparently
replace master branches in all their repositories. I'm really glad
to be unaffected with my Gitea server. I may have to adjust my
repository mirrors from GitHub however. For GitHub users, that
change will likely break every one of their repositories that
defaults to master and require adjustments from GitHub users of
which many might not even know what branches are. That's the real
impact of that and I find it deeply worrying.</p>
<p>I do not want such a thing to happen to BIND just to please some
people with large followings on Twitter who other than that, often
have no affiliation with the project whatsoever.<br>

<div class="">You can now call primary and secondary zones. But
the prevalence of terms are still master and slave. And I really
hope this thing of changing nomenclatures doesn’t go any further
due to political correctness.</div>

<div class="">For the newcomers it’s not OK to break years of
terms, software and documentation just because some people can’t
handle terms like master and slave. Slavery still exists today
and making the word disappear will not solve the issue.</div>
