How can technical terminology cause harm? This is simply "history revisionist" attempt to erase the concept from the public consciousness. The usage of the "slave" word in software is so abstract that removing creates much more harm because it will produce miscommunication and result in faulty programs where there shouldn't .
What word will one replace "slave" with? Should we go to the origins of the word and just use ethnonym "slav" instead? After all it has only positive connotations {The word slovo ("word") and the related slava ("glory, fame"...}. And sure slavic people won't mind right?! /s
