Yes, the usages of these terms should cleaned up and made consistent.
"agent" is a better term in almost all cases. Sometimes there is a
technical distinction between the terms, but we should only use "node"
where we really need to distinguish that and use "agent" as much as
possible in the UI.

Dear all,
on the occasion of the current effort to replace the term "master" I
learnt, that back in 2016 it had been decided to replace "slave" by
"agent".
This reminds me of that I am worried from time to time by the terms
"agent" and "node".
They seem to be synonyms - am I right?
If so, shouldn't "agent" be the preferred term, due to the decision of
2016 and "node" be dropped?
