Hi Everyone,
Back in the Jenkins 2.0 days, it was decided (rightfully so) to deprecate the term "slave" as it was used in the Jenkins project. There has been some significant progress made on this effort by many contributors with some remaining effort needing to be done (see the JENKINS-42816 <https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-42816> EPIC). The agent terminology cleanup is recognized as a major initiative in the project, and it is listed on the Jenkins Public Roadmap Draft <https://jenkins.io/project/roadmap>. We have some additional terminology that we would like to look at deprecating and replacing within the Jenkins project. The following terminology are items that we would like to replace with possible options. We would like this discussion to be civil, these words have powerful negative meanings for many people and we want to make sure, as a project, that we are using terms which are not negative. Please reply with opinions on the possible replacements that the Advocacy and Outreach SIG came up with, or others if you have additional ideas. - Master -> - Host - Server - Control Plane - Whitelist/Blacklist -> - Allowlist/Denylist - Allowlist/Blocklist If there are other terms that you have seen in the Jenkins project that may need to be deprecated and replaced, please contact the Jenkins Governance Board members ([email protected]) with your concerns.
