Description
I saw in the changelog that references to slave were removed in 2.0.0. I also noticed that functions referencing the counterpart to slave, master, were introduced.
Should master be replaced with a more neutral term such as controller (or something similar)?
It is also worth noting that git is moving away from master as the default branch and GitHub is moving to main as the default branch.
