[jira] [Comment Edited] (MESOS-1478) Replace Master/Slave terminology

["Erik Weathers (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1478?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14998219#comment-14998219 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------

If I may ask, can someone please explain where the discussion & conclusion about the choice of the new name for "slave" happened?  I saw an email chain about *whether* to do the rename (which was inconclusive), and then when I attended MesosCon 2015 in Seattle, it was announced "from on high" that the new name was "agent".  Was this discussed in some ad hoc informal forum? Decided internally to Mesosphere?

> TL;DR - Computers sharing work should be a good thing. Using the language of human bondage and suffering is inappropriate in this context. It also has the potential to alienate users and community members.
