Well, I know they both agree. They're both reasonable and kind.

> I think about the last and only time I remember visiting my maternal grandpa in Alabama at four years old. He was a sharecropper before WWI, where he lost his legs, and then he was back to being a sharecropper somehow after the war. Crazy, I know. I don't know if the world still called his job sharecropping in 1993, but he was basically a slave—in America. He lived in the same shack that his father, and his grandfather (born a slave) lived in down in Alabama. Believe it or not, my dad's (born in 1926) grandfather was actually born a slave, freed shortly after birth by his owner father. I never met him, though. He died in the 40s.
> Anyway, I cannot police all terms in the repo and do not wish to. This master/slave shit is archaic and mis-leading on technical grounds. Thankfully, there's only a handful of files in code and documentation that still talk about masters and slaves. We should replace all of them.
> There are so many ways to reword it. In fact, unless anyone else objects or wants to do the grunt work to help my stress levels, I will open the pull request myself in effort to make this project and community more inviting to people of all backgrounds and histories. We can have leader/follower, or primary/secondary, but none of this Master/Slave nonsense. I'm sick of the garbage.
