Moving away from "slave" was reasonable (Buildbot got rid of it many years ago!), but led us down a very slippery slope.
I'll stick my head out and say "master" is fine actually.

In fact, much of this list replaces a single-word term with a longer phrase. "Bob survived the accident but is now a paraplegic" becomes "Bob is a person who was impacted by an accident, and he is now a person with a spinal cord injury". Less precise and much wordier.
- sinity 4y ago> Moving away from "slave" was reasonable It wasn't, because it didn't make any sense. Using 'slave' as a metaphor doesn't imply slavery is good.
