Jan Šmucr commented on AMQ-7514:
--------------------------------
Really?
Are you aware of what "Slavic" means? Since it's so popular nowadays, should I
too be offended by my nation being classified as a nation of slaves?
Master/slave and the related have made it to be terms of their own and nothing
is going to change it. I wonder if anyone's going to quietly remove the
unpopular meanings from here too:

> Key: AMQ-7514
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-7514
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Bruce Snyder
> Priority: Major
>
> Given the racial charged nature of certain terms in today's world, we must
> pull together to create a plan for changing any such terms throughout all the
> ActiveMQ projects and in the git repos themselves.
>
> Example: [https://activemq.apache.org/masterslave.html]
>
> Here are just a few terms that should be changed: * The following terms are
> being targeted for change:
> *
> ** 'master' and 'slave' should be replaced with the terms 'live' and 'backup'
> ** 'whitelist' and 'blacklist' should be replaced with the terms 'allowlist'
> and 'denylist'
> * Rename all the git 'master' branches to the term 'main'
