Should orphan processes be renamed as well? What about brainfuck? Terrible connotations don't mean anything when you treat a word objectively and technically.

Should orphan processes be renamed as well? What about brainfuck? Terrible connotations don't mean anything when you treat a word objectively and technically. I am not thinking about people when I am having issues synchronizing a slave db. The same terminology is still used in bdsm and I would argue most instances of partners engaging in the specific dynamic is out of love. I do agree that better terminology is available and should be used. Negative connotations, however, do not apply when the application in computer science is so far removed from what the author alludes to.
