We have got: master/slave, blacklist/whitelist, master and now person-in-the-middle.
I’m sure we’ll find a few others.
You’re telling me these few changes and new terminology are too confusing?
It’s not like we are rethinking all of language. It’s a couple of terms and minor tweaks in ways of thought.
The amount of pushback is IMO disproportional to the minor inconvenience caused by learning a thing or two.
Remember that a lot of jargon that I cannot even repeat here used to be common vernacular not so long ago. My parents (and even I) for example were brought up with timeless children’s songs such as “nikkers dansen de troelala” en “hanky panky shanghai”. I’ll leave those for Google.
It’s better to move on sometimes.
