I nearly spat my coffee out when I read that it was to be replaced by "leader/follower". That would be a bad idea, IMO, and what most people here and on the Github thread are commenting on. But actually, the terminology being used is primary/replica, which is if anything more descriptive.

Is it, really? Please elaborate why it would be more descriptive. I think this is a nonsense change and just the fact that they did this change without hesitation makes me question if Django is a good choice for future projects. You can't make changes to established naming without consequences, what about classes? Don't they offend people who does not come from money? Django is full of them, dividing stuff into different classes. That is just disgusting. They must stop to use classes now! I would have no objection if they changed to primary/replica for a good reason, but this is a shit reason.
