unfair treatment.

We’re talking about slavery here.

sick of having to relabel

It’s not that hard…to be accommodating.

divorced from the social issues

from your point of view

the code doesn’t care

You’re right. Call it a controller and agent. I know naming is hard, but we’re smart enough to apply our lexicon.

never use the words master or slave ever again? What’s next??

Ah, the slippery slope fallacy.

We still use master over main

The default for repositories on GitHub has been main. You would have had to put in effort to change it to something else. You’re a stick in the mud.
