When I read "forking" and "following" on there, it was a revelations: of course, that's so obvious! Those terms are much friendlier than "replication" or "master-slave". It describes the desired result, instead of the underlying technology.

Hmm, this would make a good blog post. I'll draft something up.

I seem to remember the term "manumission" being floated around during the beta process... :)
