I don't get the title "GitHub abandons 'master' and 'slave' terms to avoid row". What row has this avoided? It seems it has generated a huge one, avoided none.

- ajkjk 6y agoYou have to assume that something happened that lead to this. Perhaps that was the row.
- Udik 6y agoFrankly I doubt it. While I saw a number of supporters of this change (albeit small compared to those who are outraged), those who have personal reasons to be offended seem to be a tiny minority if any at all. Those who advocate for the change seem to be all justifying it as beneficial to someone else- who though, it's not clear.
- pseudosavant 6y agoCan I 'assume' that there was a 'row' everywhere that decided to change away from master-type terminology? I could also assume that there was an overwhelming conscensus since they were able to act so quickly on something like this. Both arguments would not be based on any actual fact though.
