The word master has to be removed or avoided in all software.

  And while we are at it the words black, red, yellow, white, fat, skinny, redundant, branch and other words shall be replaced with something else. What can go wrong ? Important is to be pollitically correct. /s

  Idiotic 1st world problem (actually, very much a "silicon valley soy latte problem"). I could see "slave" being somewhat problematic and people not wwnting to use it, but going after the word "master", which has nothing to do with a "slave" unless a "slave" is mentioned together with it in the same context, is EXACTLY the kind of overreach that (among other things) makes people vote for weird individuals like DT just out of spite. Many (and I do mean "many" as in "most") IT professionals in Europe are shaking their heads when seeing things like Github changing "master" to "main". It's ridiculous. That's what it is. Why can't American liberas just be normal for a while?
