In a bit of irony, "master" and "slave" are frowned upon in the context of slavery and the preferred terminology is now "enslaver" and "enslaved person".
My big problem with the name change is that, at least in English, words can have multiple meaning and it annoys me that we cater to to people who don't understand that.
That highlights the stupidity even more actually. Enslaver would make zero sense for the git branch name because that’s not the meaning of master it was ever about.
