Arguments about terminology are not rare in our community; words arepowerful tools, so we want to be sure that we are using them in the correctway. But, naturally, opinions on what is "correct" may (and do) differ.Discussions on the use of loaded terms like "master" and "slave" have beenongoing in the community for some time, but recent world events have giventhem a new urgency.
