Unfortunate terminology. Wasn’t there just an article on HN about replacing the master/slave terminology in code. What can be done about terminology from a time when somehow people didn’t think calling things slaves was bad.

Why is calling things slaves bad, though? I'd say calling (and treating) humans as slaves is bad.
