It is meaningful in ways that are not measured in development time. There is a genuine effort to be less offensive regardless of how big of an impact it currently makes, or how meaningless individuals may believe it to be.

I think there is disagreement over whether "master record" is offensive, and frustration that time and energy are wasted arguing over it (as commenters here are doing).
