Erik Weathers commented on MESOS-1478:
--------------------------------------
If I may ask, can someone please explain where the discussion & conclusion
about the choice of the new name happened? I saw an email chain about
*whether* to do the rename (which was inconclusive), and then when I attended
MesosCon 2015 in Seattle, it was announced "from on high" that the new name was
"agent". Was this discussed in some ad hoc informal forum? Decided internally
to Mesosphere?

> TL;DR - Computers sharing work should be a good thing. Using the language of
> human bondage and suffering is inappropriate in this context. It also has the
> potential to alienate users and community members.
