No problem against this,good if it makes anyone more comfortable in the community.
Master/slave relationship is not uncommon throught history. I think if someone learned history well this wouldn't offend them all that much. But still,this isn't a misunderstanding worth making anyone uncomfortable. When I was a teenager,I remember similarly feeling uncomfortable with IDE interface's master/slave terminology.

- rtpg 8y agoNot only is the term problematic, in many usages it’s not even really right! In the IDE example the master/slave terminology is used just for coordination of a communication pipeline, and has very little to do with the master determining what the slave is doing. Primary/secondary would actually be better semantically
