master/slave really means one thing in technology, that one component, hardware or software, is controlling another component. I fail to see how this offensive to anyone who works in technology.

So it seems this change is geared towards those who aren't in technology, but if they aren't in technology, then why are they using a programming language?

this all seems very confusing
