Description
If I created a pull request which changed the terms "master" and "slave" to "manager" and "worker", respectively, would it be pulled?
Reasoning:
- I can see how these terms make a person, whose culture has a history of slavery, uncomfortable.
- It would help me when discussing these topics with my team.
- It makes me uncomfortable using these names in a public space.
I understand the PC culture is off putting, but this change would be of tremendous help to me.
Manager only adds one more character to type.
Worker only adds one more character to type.
