i think a "master slave" architecture has become a very clear pattern in distributed systems, that anyone in the field recognize (as something opposed to a peer to peer for example). this is precious, because it saves a lot of explanation time and ambiguities. Once again i wouldn't mind using a different term if it made things even clearer for a given case. But only for this reason, and not for PC.
