Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-2248:
----------------------------------------
"because it is discriminatory and offensive speech."
This is your opinion but you state it like a fact. Multiple voices have
expressed that they do not agree with you. You respond by dismissing their
right to express that opinion.
This thread will never end but I will try again.
To update the documentation, please just show an actual diff and we can discuss
or vote on it.
If you intend, by this ticket, to prohibit us all from using the term
"master/slave" when referring to databases replication in the sense of article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master-slave_(technology), then please accept
that it's not happening.
> Replace "master" and "slave" terminology

> Key: COUCHDB-2248
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2248
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Noah Slater
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Inspired by the comments on this PR:
> https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692
> Summary is: `master` and `slave` are racially charged terms, and it would be
> good to avoid them. Django have gone for `primary` and `replica`. But we also
> have to deal with what we now call multi-master setups. I propose "peer to
> peer" as a replacement, or just "peer" if you're describing one node.
> As far as I can tell, the primary work here is the docs. The wiki and any
> supporting material can be updated after.
