Somebody decided that the word "master" is bad enough to become taboo, so the same thing happening to "dead" is not particularly far-fetched.

- znpy 3y agoOn that matter, i can see the point when used to describe a master/slave configuration, but I don’t see how it can make sense when talking for example about the git master branch: there is no such thing as a slave branch, and “master” in there only refers to a “master copy” (concept borrowed from cd-crom mass production from what I know, where the final iso image to be burned to all disks is indeed called the master copy).
