IIRC this was litigated by k8s years ago, hence we don’t have pet sets. But the metaphor is still in use because it’s so vivid and memorable. Is there a recommended replacement metaphor?

Garden vs Farm

Restaurant vs Cafeteria

Espresso vs Drip

Cafe vs Starbucks

Backyard BBQ vs McDonalds

I actually think that garden vs farm is a good choice. The others are a bit funny to me :)

Another thing to consider is international cultures. There’s been concern around calling servers cattle and saying to just shoot them in the head during work meetings. Some cultures may have issues with that.
